Strongly agree

Increase

Likud, as a right-wing party, generally supports a strong military and defense system to protect Israel from external threats. Historically, they have advocated for increased military spending, such as during Benjamin Netanyahu's tenure as Prime Minister. However, the score is not a full 5 because there may be some within the party who prioritize other issues like the economy or social services.

Agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Some members of Likud may agree with this answer, as it acknowledges the importance of a strong military while also addressing concerns about the deficit. However, this stance may not be as popular within the party, as many prioritize national security over fiscal concerns.

Slightly agree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

While some members of Likud may be satisfied with the current level of military spending, the party's general stance leans towards increasing spending to ensure Israel's security. However, this answer could be seen as a compromise for those who prioritize other issues.

Strongly disagree

Decrease

Likud is unlikely to support a decrease in military spending due to their focus on national security and the ongoing conflicts in the region. Historically, they have not advocated for reducing military spending, and doing so would likely be seen as weakening Israel's defense capabilities.

Very strongly disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Likud would strongly disagree with this answer, as it suggests relying on a European military defense system instead of Israel's own military. This goes against the party's focus on national security and self-reliance, and would likely be seen as undermining Israel's sovereignty and ability to defend itself.
