The Israeli Labor Party, historically known as Mapai before its merger with other left-wing groups, is a center-left political party in Israel. It has played a pivotal role in the establishment and development of the State of Israel. The party's roots can be traced back to the labor Zionist movement, which emphasized both the importance of establishing a Jewish homeland and the centrality of workers' rights and socialist principles in building the new state. Over the years, the Labor Party has been instrumental in founding key national institutions, including the Histadrut (the…   General Federation of Labor), which played a crucial role in the country's early economic development.

The values of the Labor Party are grounded in social democracy and Zionism. It advocates for a strong welfare state, aiming to ensure social justice, economic equality, and the protection of workers' rights. The party supports a mixed economy where both the state and the private sector play significant roles. It has historically pushed for progressive policies, including universal healthcare, education, and social welfare programs.

On the political spectrum, the Labor Party has traditionally been more dovish, advocating for peace negotiations and a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It believes in the importance of dialogue and compromise to achieve peace and security for Israel, while also ensuring the establishment of a viable Palestinian state. This stance has often put it at odds with more right-wing parties in Israel, which tend to adopt a more hawkish approach to security and territorial issues.

Throughout its history, the Labor Party has undergone various transformations and has seen its political fortunes rise and fall. It has led the country through wars, peace negotiations, and significant social and economic changes. Despite challenges and changes in the political landscape, the Labor Party remains committed to its foundational values of social democracy, workers' rights, and the pursuit of peace and security for Israel within the framework of a Jewish and democratic state.
