La'am (, an abbreviation of Likud Avoda Mamlakhtit) was a political faction in Israel that formed part of Likud between 1976 and 1984.
History
Between its formation in 1973 and formal merger in 1988, Likud consisted of an alliance of several right wing parties. The two largest blocs were Herut and the Liberal Party, which had formed the Gahal alliance between 1965 and 1973. In 1973 the two parties were joined by the Free Centre, the Independent Centre (a breakaway from the Free Centre), the National List and the Movement for Greater Israel.
In 1976, the latter three formed an alliance within the Likud bloc, named La'am, which consisted of eight of Likud's 39 seats. In the 1977 elections La'am remained at eight seats, with Likud growing to 43.
On 15 May 1979, Moshe Shamir, the Movement for Greater Israel representative, left Likud to sit as an independent, later establishing Tehiya with Geula Cohen. On 26 January 1981 three of its members, Yigal Hurvitz, Zalman Shoval and Yitzhak Peretz, left Likud to re-establish the National List as an independent party. On 26 October 1982 it was reduced to three seats as Amnon Linn and Peretz defected to the Alignment.
