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.
