	israelinsider: politics: Likud Party backs Netanyahu, says no to Sharon
		Party members at the stormy session defeated Sharon's proposal to postpone the vote, and instead backed the hard-line position of former Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his open challenge for party leadership.
		Using his authority as head of the party, Sharon's alternative proposal suggested wording stating that the central committee was "unified in its support of the government led by the Likud, the ministers of the Likud, and a Likud prime minister, and their efforts to fight terrorism and continue diplomatic activity toward achieving a lasting peace."
		The Likud Party's charter already includes a clause stating its opposition to a Palestinian state west of the Jordan River, but the resolution was brought to the central committee session by Netanyahu supporters came after Sharon twice stated his acceptance of an eventual Palestinian state at the end of a long-term diplomatic process.

	Ruling Likud party rejects ... - May 04, 2004
		JERUSALEM — Ariel Sharon's ruling Likud party colleagues have overwhelmingly rejected his plan to withdraw unilaterally from the Gaza Strip, according to party referendum results announced early Monday, dealing a huge political blow to the Israeli Prime Minister.
		The rejection by his own party of the plan he spent most of the past several months promoting is one of the most serious setbacks Sharon has suffered since taking office as prime minister in March 2001.
		Observers said the vote was directly influenced by a day of bloodshed, notably the slaying of a settler woman and her four young daughters in the Gaza Strip.

		Likud is the largest party, with 40 seats in the 120-member parliament.
		Landau has accused Sharon of deceiving Likud voters because he did not run on a Gaza withdrawal platform when he was elected to a second term in March 2003; Sharon only formulated the pullout plan at the end of 2003.
		Israeli analysts said Likud hard-liners were so bent on revenge that they didn't seem to care that by moving up the primary and forcing Sharon out, they could also bring down the party.

	The Head Heeb: Likudniks
		Both have approximately equal representation in the Likud parliamentary group, with the Ashkenazim holding a slight edge in the Sixteenth Knesset; at the level of the Central Committee and the local party committees, the Mizrahim are stronger and form the organizational heart of the party.
		The two represent different wings of the party; Whbee, a relative centrist, is a technocrat who was formerly an IDF colonel and director-general of the Ministry of Regional Cooperation, while Kara is a right-wing populist and log-roller who rose under the patronage of Bibi Netanyahu.
		Today's party is presiding over necessary reforms to the economy (although I have some disagreement with the way they're being carried out), and implementing the much-needed work of the Dovrat Commission on education reform.

	Likud Party Vote Key to Future for Sharon (phillyBurbs.com)
		Sharon's allies said it would be absurd for a ruling party in power to oust its leader, particularly after the international support Sharon has received in the wake of the Gaza pullout.
		A new party could provide Sharon, who says Palestinians are entitled to a state of their own, a more solid base for engaging in new peace efforts.
		As head of Likud, he has had to fight against hard-line lawmakers in the party to implement his policies, and rebellious Likud parliamentarians repeatedly tried to bring down his government to stop the Gaza withdrawal.

		Sharon stressed in his speech addressing his Party members that opposing a plan with such high support between ordinary Israeli citizens would decrease the number of votes for the Likud Party in the next elections and maybe even force them out of power.
		A number of prominent Likud Party members expressed their opposition openly and loudly making this event one of the most serious government crises since Ariel Sharon became Prime Minister in 2001.

	Likud rebuffs Sharon again / Hezbollah and the Palestinians
		Although Sharon is the architect of settlements and of the Likud party - which he helped establish in 1973 - his background is not in the old Israeli revisionist right, as are those of a number of the key rebels.
		A Likud standing in the way might soon become an impediment to be removed, not a force to be reckoned with.
		The Likud rebels' opposition to his disengagement plan is a rearguard battle of a defeated ideology against the political realism of a rightwing leader who understands the difference between ideological dreams and what can be achieved in the current political reality.

	Scandal of alleged vote-buying taints Sharon's Likud party
		Sharon, who says he will expel any Likud members found guilty of improprieties, has been thrown on the defensive at a time when he and the party were considered shoo-ins for the January election.
		Another Likud member was quoted in the Yedioth Ahronoth daily as saying that one lawmaker distributed cash on the day of the election to voters and paid for a night's accommodation at a luxury hotel for 30 voters.
		While it is considered unlikely that Likud will shed enough seats to hand Labor an outright win, the scandal could reduce its margin of victory to the point where it will be forced to rely on smaller right-wing coalition partners whose demands will limit the Sharon government's maneuverability.

		Some confidantes have advised the prime minister to leave the party he helped found three decades ago and create a new centrist party with Likud moderates, capitalizing on the broad popularity Sharon enjoys among the general public.
		A Netanyahu-led Likud is expected to win far fewer than the 40 seats that Likud, the largest party, holds in the 120-member parliament.

		Before the vote, Peres argued that it is imperative for the Labor Party to join the government both to restrain the hard-line policies of Sharon and to push peace proposals with the Palestinians.
		The vote would have been for temporary leadership of the party; the 78-year-old Peres, who led Labor for 20 years until replaced by Barak in the mid-1990s, said he had no interest in returning to the job permanently.

	How Sharon and the Likud Party nurtured the rise of Hamas by Ray Hanania
		In the past quarter century, Sharon and his Likud government party midwifed the birth of Hamas and coddled the rise of Islamic extremists through policies that were more concerned with undermining the peace process.
		These Likud policies were intended to undermine the influence of Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat, who was anointed at the Rabat Arab Summit in October 1974 as the only person who could negotiate for the return of the Occupied West Bank, Gaza Strip and Arab East Jerusalem.
		Beginning with the 1977 election of Likud founder Menachem Begin as prime minister, Israel nurtured the rise of the Islamic movement among the Palestinians, first in the Gaza Strip and to a limited degree in the West Bank.
