The headquarters of the Likud Party in Tel Aviv flies four flags:
Dov Gutterman, 14 November 2001
This week there was the "official" begining of 2003
elections campeign. (Elections due to 28 January). I am watching
the TV promotions just to see if any flags are used.
I saw the flag of the Likhud Party – white logo (stylized name)
on blue background.
Dov Gutterman, 9 January 2003
Full name in 2003 elections: HaLikud im Ariel Sharon LeRosh
HaMemshala (HaLikud (=joined together) with Ariel Sharom for
Prime Minister)
Letters: Mem-Het-Lamed (MAHAL)
Flag/logo: White logo (stylized name) on blue.
Dov Gutterman, 17 and 28 January 2003
The Likud was the big winner of the 2003 elections (39 seats,
a gain of 20). Many white logo on blue flags could be seen at the
party headquarters celebrations. It seems the previously reported
flag of a logo on national background is
obsolete and not in use anymore.
Dov Gutterman, 29 January 2003
Interestingly, the logo incorporates a flag, of sorts: The
"lamed" in "Likud" has a decorative flourish
at the top that looks like a flag.
Nathan Lamm, 29 January 2003
HaLikud
(Consolidation) list for General Elections
of 2006 is named "HaLikud im Benyamin Netanyahu
LeRashut HaMemshala" (The Likud with Benyamin
Netanyahu for Prime-Ministership) and was submitted by
HaLikud Tnu'a'a Le'umit Liberalit (The Likud -
National Liberal Movement). It is led by former PM Netanyahu and
is using its letters mem-het-lamed (and therefore
sometimes called also "mahal")
This right wing party was founded in 1973 as a union of center
and right wing parties: Herut (Freedom) Movement (founded
1949 by former ETZEL
(a.k.a "Irgun") members) and the Liberal Party
(which was a 1961 union of the "General Zionists" and
"The Progressive Party", both founded in 1949). The two
major ingredients had already ran together since 1965 but in 1973
were also joined by other minor parties and groups such as HaReshima
HaMamlakhtit (The State List), HaMerkaz HaHofshi (The
Free Center) etc. In 1977 it first took power and since then it
was either the biggest or second largest party. PM's Begin,
Shamir, Netanyahu and Sharon came from this party.
The party had 40 seats in the 16th Knesset but the decision of PM
Sharon to retire from the party and to found Kadima was a big blow, and 14 of its
Knesset members joined the new party.
HaLikud got a big blow in 2006 elections getting only 12
seats (same as Shas but with fewer
voters). It seems that even being the biggest party of the
opposition will not save it from the expected internal turmoil.
The logo of the Likud is its name with the top of the "lamed"
lengthen to look like a pennant. The flag is white logo on blue.

The Likud party flags show their logo [instead of the Magen
David] on the national flag.
Dov Gutterman, 13 December 2000
This is not an official flag and has no specifications, but it
is hoisted in front of the party headquarters in Tel-Aviv. The
size of the emblem could differ from one production series to
another. I guess it depends in who the manufacturer is.
Dov Gutterman, 21 August 2001
Ma'ariv newspaper of 8th June 2001 showed this picture of a
demonstration in Jerusalem. The flag is the flag of Betar
youth movement, which is strongly connected with the Kherut
(Freedom) movement, the main part of Likud, one of the
major parties in Israel. Betar are the initials of Brit
Yosef Trumpeldor, Joseph Trumpeldor Union, after an Israeli
hero. The youth movement also operates sport clubs one of which
is the famous Betar Jerusalem F.C. The flag is a gold menorah
on blue with Betar name in Hebrew and English.
Dov Gutterman, 11 June 2001
The BETAR flag flying at the headquarters of the Likud Party
in Tel Aviv is blue with the gold BETAR emblem (Menorah with the
inscription BETAR below).
