Kadima
Platform: Drawing Israel’s borders according to the road map while maintaining settlement blocs, electoral reform
Labor - Meimad
Platform: Israeli-Palestinian conflict: Two state solution, pro-fence, pro-unilateral withdrawals, evacuation of settlements (likely to support hanging onto major settlement blocs in any future deal). Social-economic: With the former union leader at its head, Labor will move left on the social-democratic scale. Peretz wants to raise the minimum wage and enable a free market economy but with certain constraints that would ensure that the competition won’t turn the market into a “jungle.”
Likud
Platform: Under Netanyahu, Likud turned to the right, focusing on its opposition to unilateral withdrawals from Palestinian territories. It is not likely to give up any territory except, possibly, several isolated settlements. Netanyahu said he would be willing to make “real” concessions but did not elaborate. The party stresses Palestinian reciprocity, fighting corruption.
National Religious Party / National Union

NU’s main agenda: Holding on to all of Judea and Samaria
SHAS
Platform: Helping the poor, supporting Sephardi ultra-Orthodox causes
Yisrael Beitenu

United Torah Judaism
Platform: Ashkenazi ultra-Orthodox causes
Shinui, Secular Zionist Party
