The quick guide to Israel’s political parties

Should the military allow women to serve in combat roles? ^{stats discuss}

Likud’s answer: Yes Sharren Haskel, MK Likud: "During the second intifada, as a female combat soldier in the Border Police I fought to serve in Jerusalem. I participated in arrests, clashes in alleys, and the difficult sights in the scenes of terrorist attacks I will never forget. As someone who trained young female fighters and saw the fire burning in their eyes and unwavering faith to serve the State of Israel, despite the risk to their lives, I have no doubt that you are wrong. Moreover, in recent years we have seen how great the contribution of female fighters is, in all frameworks, thwarting attacks, in combat operations and guarding the borders. You can hear it even from IDF commanders themselves. The State of Israel is expected to face many challenges in the future. We want, need and certainly can take part, each one in her own way and faith, in defending the homeland."Source

Likud’s answer: Yes According to the ministry’s new position, the criteria for adoption will address the potential parents’ suitability for a given child, regardless of sexual orientation. The state's position was filed in response to a petition to the High Court filed by the Association of Israeli Gay Fathers, together with the Israel Religious Action Center of the Reform movement, against the Social Affairs Ministry and the attorney general. “In light of the public opposition to the state’s position, Labor, Social Affairs and Social Services Minister Haim Katz demanded a re-examination of the position,” the ministry said in a statement to the state attorney, who represents the State of Israel in court.Source

Do you support the legalization of Marijuana? ^{stats discuss}

Likud’s answer: Yes, but only for medical use The Knesset plenum approved in preliminary reading the amendment bill to the Dangerous Drugs Orders Law that will allow the export of medical cannabis. The measure that was initiated by MK Yoav Kisch (Likud) passed 33-0. “One of our duties as lawmakers is to act on issues that seem a bit groundbreaking and in places that the government has yet to set foot in,” Kisch said before the vote. “On the one hand, we see that farmers here in Israel are going through rough times, and on the other hand, we see that the whole topic of medical cannabis is gaining steam all over the world,” he said. “After analyzing the global cannabis market, it seems that the potential annual profit of exporting cannabis is around NIS 1 billion.” The explanatory notes of the bill say the purpose of the bill is to create a clear distinction between trading cannabis that is labeled as a “dangerous drug” and exporting cannabis for medical use.Source

The current reality is unbearable -- protesters are burning Israeli flags and just go on with their lives. The current penalties, which are ridiculous, are barely enforced. It is time to impose a harsher sentence and a hefty fine to end this disgraceful phenomenon." Boker said she believes harsher punitive measures will be able to generate deterrence and curtail incitement.Source

Should the U.S. overthrow President Assad of Syria? ^{stats discuss}

Likud’s answer: No Israel does not intervene in the Syrian civil war but will not allow attacks from the country to be launched at Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (Likud) said Wednesday, a day after he met Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss Syria and other regional issues. Get The Times of Israel's Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories FREE SIGN UP! “You ask about the future of [Israel’s] relations with President [Bashar] Assad?

Should the U.S. accept refugees from Syria? ^{stats discuss}

Likud’s answer: No, we should eliminate any opportunity for terrorists to enter the country Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (Likud) on Sunday rejected a call to host refugees from Syria and elsewhere, saying that while Israel is "not indifferent to the human tragedy of the refugees," it is not in a position to take them in. ... Netanyahu stressed Israel’s medical care for over 1,000 injured Syrians, as well as efforts to aid African nations and thus stem the flow of migrants. However, he said that Israel’s “lack of demographic and geographic depth” requires controlling its borders against both “illegal migrants and terrorism.” ... Immigrant Absorption Minister Zeev Elkin (Likud) accused Herzog of gambling on Israel’s strategic interests for the sake of “one minute of favor” in international media. He also expressed the fear that the refugee crisis could give Palestinians an opening to bring the so-called right of return, which would allow Palestinians to return to land they occupied before the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, in “through the back door.” Transportation Minister Israel Katz (Likud) said it would be a mistake for Israel to get involved in the Syrian civil war by taking in refugees. “We are too close, too involved. We are not a European country,” he said.Source

Should the government make cuts to public spending in order to reduce the national debt? ^{stats discuss}

Likud’s answer: No Minister of Finance Yuval Steinitz is expected to submit to the cabinet a proposal that will upend the fiscal rules for public spending by the government. He proposes a new spending formula that will define public spending as a function of the average growth in the previous years while aiming for a debt-to-GDP ratio of 60%, the level stipulated in the EU Maastricht Treaty. The current spending formula limits growth in government spending to 1.7% over the previous year, a figure that is in line with Israel's population growth rate. The new formula will let the government increase its spending in 2011 by 2.6% compared with 2010. The Ministry of Finance said today that this will give the government greater flexibility even as it tries to reach the 60% debt-to-GDP ratio.Source

Should the government raise taxes on the rich? ^{stats discuss}

This sum includes taxable income from any source - not just salary - including capital gains, dividends, interest, rents, etc. Steinitz had to sign the new withholding rules, so that now any employee with a monthly salary of over NIS 67,630 will pay the extra 2% starting January 2013. The treasury expects the tax hike to bring in NIS 600 million a year in higher tax revenues.Source

We believe that there is no difference between same-sex couples and a pair of man and woman and thus act to recognize same-sex couples as equals also in the process of adoption.Source

What is your stance on abortion? ^{stats discuss}

Yesh Atid [political party]’s answer: Pro-choice Running counter to Hajj Yahya and Glick's proposal is a draft bill being finalized by their colleague, MK Dr. Aliza Lavie (Yesh Atid), that seeks to ease the criteria for receiving approval from the termination committee at the earlier stages of pregnancy. She was extremely critical both of the current status of abortions in Israel and her fellow parliamentarians' intentions, saying, "The existing legal situation is already trampling on the fundamental right of a woman to take decisions about her body. Amazingly, MKs Glick and Hajj Yahya are seeking to add insult to injury and add a cleric to the committee, as if it were their bodies being discussed. "It baffles me that somebody without the tools and the ability to understand the significance of carrying an unwanted pregnancy is seeking to apply additional strictures."Source

Should there be more or less privatization of hospital and healthcare services? ^{stats discuss}

Yesh Atid [political party]’s answer: Less, and provide more government funding In the 2015 budget formulated by former Minister of Finance, Yair Lapid, the investment in health care increased dramatically by 4 billion NIS. This was to enable the recommendations of the German Committee to be implemented and the treatment and improve the service provided to the Israeli public. During their tenure, Yael German and Yair Lapid increased the health care budget by circa 1 billion NIS and managed the crisis which threatened to close Hadassah Hospital including emergency assistance worth 1.3 billion NIS. On the subject of financing the public system the committee recommended not to allow Private Medical Service (known by its Hebrew acronym as SHARAP) into public hospitals and that the limitations on privately funded activities within public hospitals should be maintained; in the public hospitals where there is SHARAP, we must ensure that the waiting times for medical procedures are equal, wherever possible, between the public and private options.Source

Should the government make cuts to public spending in order to reduce the national debt? ^{stats discuss}

Yesh Atid [political party]’s answer: No Finance Minister Yair Lapid submitted a proposal to the government to raise the 2013 deficit target to 4.9% from 3% of GDP, adding an additional NIS 19b. to the annual deficit. Lapid hopes to pass the proposal, which leaked late Wednesday night, at Sunday’s cabinet meeting. In addition to increasing deficit targets, Lapid’s plan also ups the limit on how much the government can increase spending from one year to the next, allowing him to spend 2.2% more in 2013 than the previous year. That would give him room to spend NIS 6.5b. more than in 2012, according to figures cited in the proposal [Note: calculations using Treasury figures put the spending increase closer to NIS 6.3b.]. If the plan were approved, the 2013 budget would hover at around NIS 293b.Source
