The '''General Zionists''' ({{langx|he|הַצִיּוֹנִים הַכְּלָלִיים|translit=HaTzionim HaKlaliym}}) were a centrist [[Zionist]] movement and a [[political party in Israel]]. The General Zionists supported the leadership of [[Chaim Weizmann]] and their views were largely colored by central European culture.<ref name="Sofer p272">{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=svvM3MxwtloC&q=general+zionists+aleph&pg=PA272 |title=Zionism and the Foundations of Israeli Diplomacy |first=Sasson |last=Sofer |publisher=Cambridge University Press |year=2007 |page=272 |isbn= 9780521038270 |access-date=21 June 2015}}</ref> The party was considered to have both [[conservatism|conservative]] and [[liberalism|liberal]] wings,<ref name="Sternhell1998">{{cite book|first=Zeev |last=Sternhell|title=The Founding Myths of Israel: Nationalism, Socialism, and the Making of the Jewish State|publisher=Princeton University Press|year=1998|isbn=978-1-400-82236-2|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LwBtJ1U5vc0C&pg=PA241|page=241}}</ref><ref name=“Kruk2002”>{{cite book|first=Herman |last=Kruk|title=The Last Days of the Jerusalem of Lithuania: Chronicles from the Vilna Ghetto and the Camps, 1939–1944|publisher=Yale University Press|year=2002|isbn= 978-0-300-04494-2|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vqeMLSlqkU8C&pg=PR36|page=XXXVI}}</ref><ref name=“Shindler2015”>{{cite book|first=Colin|last=Shindler|title=The Rise of the Israeli Right|publisher= Cambridge University Press|year=2015|isbn= 978-0-521-19378-8|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vjAZCgAAQBAJ&pg=PA262|page=262}}</ref> and is one of the ancestors of the modern-day [[Likud]].
