Mapai

Israeli Workers' Party or Labour Party, founded in 1930. Its leading figure until 1965 was David Ben-Gurion. In 1968, the party allied with two other democratic socialist parties to form the Israeli Labour Party.

Mapai had strong links with trade unions and dominated the country's 1948-68 coalition governments. It provided leading figures such as prime ministers David Ben-Gurion (1948-53, 1955-63) and Levi Eshkol (1963-69), and helped to establish a welfare state.
