A guide to the main political parties vying for seats in Israel’s parliament
Zionist Union
This political alliance links Isaac Herzog’s Labor Party and the Hatnuah party of Tzipi Livni, a former Israeli foreign minister, justice minister and Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiator. The Zionist Union has taken the lead in polls on the back of popular dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, fueled most keenly by Israel’s economic woes. Herzog has emerged as the fulcrum of the anybody-but-Netanyahu movement.
