Atid ("Future," in Hebrew)
ATID ("future," in Hebrew)
Israeli political organization whose creation was announced on 28 November 1997 by several Likud members who were opposed to the policies of then-prime minister and leader of the party, Benjamin Netanyahu. Officially formed on 11 January 1998, its major leader has been Roni Milo, flanked officially by Beni Begin, Limor Livnat, Dan Meridor, Ron Peer, and Ehud Olmert. The organization's ambition was to become a centrist party. The announcement in December 1998 of early general elections did not allow this project to be realized, since some of its members chose to join the ranks of the new Center Party or to create their own.
