Menachem Begin, Yitzchak Shamir, Benjamin Netanyahu, Ariel Sharon, David Levy, Moshe Arens, Yitzhak Moda'i, Moshe Nissim, Dan Meridor, Ehud Olmert, Moshe Katzav, Silvan Shalom.
Although several members of Herut and the Liberal Party members served as ministers in the governments of Levi Eshkol and Golda Meir in the late 1960s, it was only in 1977 that Likud came to power. From 1977 to 1984, Likud members of Knesset served in high-ranking ministerial positions such as the Ministry of Defense (Ezer Weizmann, Ariel Sharon, and Moshe Arens), the Ministry of Finance (Simcha Erlich, Yigal Horowitz, and Yoram Aridor) and the Foreign Ministry (Yitzchak Shamir). Many members of the Likud also served as ministers in the rotation governments of the 11th Knesset and in the governments of the 12th Knesset.
Likud once again led the government after the elections for the Fourteenth Knesset in 1996, when it ran in a joint list with the Gesher and Tzomet parties. In that government, in addition to the position of prime minister, Likud controlled important ministries such as Finance (Dan Meridor) and Defense (Yitzchak Mordechai). Likud once again became the party with the highest number of cabinet members in 2001 to 2005, when the governments of Ariel Sharon were in power.
Between 2009 and 2021 Likud, under the leadership of Prime Minister Netanyahu, was the governing party in four different cabinets. Likud returned to opposition status in June 2021 but regained control following the 2022 elections. It is the largest party in the current coalition. Besides Prime Minister Netanyahu, other Likud ministers include Yoav Galant (Defense), Yisrael Katz (Foreign Affairs) and Yariv Levin (Justice).
