The Israeli Labor Party (Hebrew: מִפְלֶגֶת הָעֲבוֹדָה הַיִּשְׂרְאֵלִית, romanized: ⓘ), commonly known as HaAvoda (Hebrew: הָעֲבוֹדָה, lit. 'The Labor'), was a social democratic political party in Israel.[7] The party was established in 1968 by a merger of Mapai, Ahdut HaAvoda and Rafi. Until 1977, all Israeli prime ministers were affiliated with the Labor movement.[8] The final party leader was Yair Golan, who was elected on 28 May 2024.
A party in the Labor Zionist tradition supporting the welfare state and trade union links,[9] The Labor Party was associated with supporting the Israeli–Palestinian peace process, pragmatic foreign affairs policies and social-democratic economic policies.[10] The party has also been described as secular,[9][11][12] progressive,[13] and in favour of a two-state solution.[14] The party was a member of Socialist International until July 2018,[15][16][17] and was subsequently a member of the Progressive Alliance and an observer member of the Party of European Socialists.[18][19]
On 30 June 2024, under the leadership of its new head, Yair Golan, the party agreed to merge with Meretz to form a new party, The Democrats. Under the merger agreement there will be one Meretz representative in every four spots on the new party's electoral list as well as on the party bodies, and there will also be representation for Meretz's municipal factions.[20] The agreement was ratified by delegates of both Labor and Meretz on 12 July 2024. Under the agreement, Meretz and Labor continue as separate corporate and budgetary entities, and their factions in the Histadrut, municipal councils and other bodies outside the Knesset will not merge at this stage but will cooperate.[21]
