ARTICLES RELATED TO David Levy Israeli politician | | | |  David Levy Israeli politician: Encyclopedia II - David Levy Israeli politician - Political ComplicationsAs a senior Likud figure, Levy gained a huge following. While Likud leader Shamir proved often to be an aloof and incompetent player when it came to making coalitions, the construction worker with an eighth grade education was able to enter doors closed on the aging prime minister. These included Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, a powerful Mizrahi rabbi with inclinations towards Shamir's nemesis, Labour leader Peres, and the spiritual leader of the Shas party. Levy helped Likud court into b ...

| | | | David Levy Israeli politician: Encyclopedia II - David Levy Israeli politician - Private Faction Levy refused to accept Netanyahu as the new Likud chairman. The situation in the Likud at the time was stormy. Netanyahu's management tactics were angering many Likud supporters, while his right-wing rhetoric gained the confidence of Sharon, Benjamin Begin, and the hard-line party members. Levy knew that if he was cowed by his suave nemesis his supporters would either join Netanyahu's camp in order to oppose the new Oslo Accords, or go the opposite direction and back a more socialist candidate. He also knew that Netanyahu would not be willing to give him one of the top four ministries should the Lik ...

| | | | David Levy Israeli politician: Encyclopedia II - David Levy Israeli politician - The Winning Partnership By Winter 1996, Levy was beginning to break under the stress of his first election campaign outside of the Likud. Netanyahu, similarly, needed as much street power as possible, even if Levy's was significantly reduced from the past.
Since the November 4, 1995 murder of Rabin, Netanyahu was frantically trying to moderate his image from a hard-line demagogue as many bereaved Israelis saw him, into a skeptic who wanted to slow the pace of concessions to PLO leader Yasser Arafat. Levy's inclusion would somewhat bring him closer to that go ...

| | | | David Levy Israeli politician: Encyclopedia II - David Levy Israeli politician - Last Stand Levy's candidacy was supposed to rejuvenate the Likud's Mizrahi voting base, and form a conservative working class opposition to Labour. Levy's policies on the peace question was moderate relative to Ariel Sharon, Moshe Arens, and almost all other senior Likud figures.
Again he ran parallel to Benjamin Netanyahu. At that time, right-wing Israelis were launching a long opposition plan to the new prime minister, Yitzhak Rabin (Labour). Netanyahu talk a hard-line stand, describing a doomsday scenario of terror at the doorstep of every Is ...

On January 6, 1998 David Levy quit the coalition along with former ambassador to France and Channel 2 chairman Yehuda Lancry and his brother and former Lod mayor Maxim. Gesher was once again totally independent, and Levy drifted closer to the policies of the Labour Party and opposition leader Ehud Barak. The total lack of progress on the peace front had created cracks in his enemy Netanyahu's foundation. In early 1997 Minister of Science Benny Begin had broken from the Likud to form Herut-The National Movement, a group opposed to the ...

| | | | David Levy Israeli politician: Encyclopedia II - David Levy Israeli politician - Anticlimax As the 1992 elections neared, Levy vowed to crush Netanyahu, and used all of his influence in the Central Committee to clip his rival's wings. The effort was in vain, as Netanyahu wowed the political spectrum when he earned the no. 2 slot on the Likud list after Shamir, while Levy earned the eight. The humiliating defeat brought to attention how much Levy's support had slipped. Shamir seemed ready to ...

| | | | David Levy Israeli politician: Encyclopedia II - David Levy Israeli politician - Ministries Levy has a long recorded history of quitting from governments and coalitions (both Likud's coalitions and Israeli Labor Party's coalitions). This, and his bad English, made Levy a subject for many popular and folklore jokes in Israel. From 1977 until 1981, Levy was Minister of Immigrant Absorption in the first two Begin governments. At this time the largest issues in that field were the campaign to liberate Soviet Jews confined to the USSR, and the controversy over the Beta Israel, Ethiopian tribes that at that time had still not rece ...

| | | | David Levy Israeli politician: Encyclopedia II - David Levy Israeli politician - Promotion Downward As the Mizrahi street drifted away from the Likud, Levy's rivals in the Likud tried to minimize his influence. However, in 1990 Shamir faced a major crisis when the Labour and Shas parties brought down his government and coalition in response to his refusal to consider any peace initiatives with the Palestinians. Backed into a corner, Shamir formed a narrow, right-wing coalition. He was also forced to give Levy the Foreign Ministry.
Thought to be one of the top four ministries (with defence, interior, and finance), Levy believed that ...

| | | | David Levy Israeli politician: Encyclopedia II - David Levy Israeli politician - Early Career Until 1973 Likud had been an alliance of the right-wing Herut and centrist Liberal parties (Gush Herut ve-Liberalim; "Gahal") that had never had an active role in governing Israel and had always been a weak opposition. Levy distinguished himself as the first of many young working-class members of the party from a Mizrahi (Oriental) background. Until then Herut and the Liberals had been both dominated by right-wing upper-class or upper-middle-c ...
