Likud

Likud is a major right-wing political party in Israel. It is currently newsworthy due to actions taken by the government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the party's leader. Recent news focuses on two main issues. First, former U.S. President Trump criticized Israel's President Isaac Herzog for not pardoning Netanyahu in his ongoing corruption trial. Second, the Netanyahu government is under scrutiny for using a 2023 law to revoke the citizenship of Palestinian citizens of Israel and deport them, a move critics say sets a dangerous precedent. These actions highlight the party's current policies and their impact on both domestic and international relations, making Likud a significant focus of current affairs.
