Gesher (Hebrew: גֶּשֶׁר, lit. 'Bridge'), officially the Gesher National Social Movement (Hebrew: גשר – תנועה חברתית לאומית, Gesher – Teno'a Hevratit Le'umit), was a political party in Israel between 1996 and 2003. It formed when David Levy led a split from the Israeli center-right party Likud. Gesher helped to form coalition governments led by both Likud and the left-wing Labor Party, but never gained significant power.[not verified in body] The party was eventually disbanded as Levy returned to Likud.[not verified in body] In 2019, David Levy's daughter, Orly Levy set up a similar party named Gesher, which advocates for many of the same policies supported by her father.
