	Labour (Israel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Mitzna resigned as chairman of Labour and Shimon Peres was appointed temporary Chairman.
		Mapai evolved from the Socialist "Workers of Zion" party and adhered to the Zionist Socialist ideology promulgated by Nahum Syrkin and Ber Borochov.

	Guardian \| Israeli Labour party rejects Sharon's call
		The leader of Israel's Labour party yesterday told Ariel Sharon he would not join a coalition government unless the prime minister agreed to shut Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip and begin negotiations with the Palestinians.
		Mr Sharon, whose Likud party won 38 seats in the 120-member knesset in last month's general election, has sufficient support on the right to form a coalition with ultra-orthodox parties and an extremist party that advocates the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
		The Labour leader, Amram Mitzna, however, said after a meeting at the prime minister's office that he would not join the government out of a sense of "national responsibility".

		Mapai, and later the Labour Party, was the organization of some of the most central characters in Israeli politics: David Ben-Gurion, Levi Eshkol, Abba Eban, Golda Meir, Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres.

		The Labour Party, meanwhile, is in the middle of its own crisis, a result of the on- going erosion of its earlier mid-left orientation.
		Labour has split into two factions, one of which works in close collaboration with Likud while the other calls for a return to the party's original principles and an end to collaboration in Sharon's coalition.
		Labour's withdrawal from Sharon's coalition is too little, and too late, to end the party's internal crisis.

		If the Israeli right, led by Sharon, obtains a clear victory, which at present appears the most likely outcome, and should this victory coincide with the outbreak of a US war against Iraq, the region as a whole will be propelled towards conflagration.
		This is why the sudden election of Amram Mitzna as Israeli Labour Party leader and his bold vision for reviving the peace process offer the first glimmer of light in the otherwise oppressive darkness.
		Suffering from a mounting sense of insecurity, the Israeli people are feeling increasingly frustrated at the inability of their current government to resolve the conflict with the Palestinians militarily.

		Party secretary Ofir Pines said he expected a new leader to be chosen by the end of July.
		Mitzna was a leading voice against Labour's rejoining the government of Ariel Sharon, and his resignation reopens the possibility that a more centrist leader might join forces with the hardline prime minister.
		Labour dropped from 26 seats to 19 in the 120-seat parliament, while Sharon's Likud doubled its strength from 19 to 38 seats and easily formed a governing coalition without Labour.

		Ehud Barak, head of Israel's Labour Party and main challenger to Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu in the upcoming Israeli elections, met King Abdullah for a “familiarisation visit” during a 45-minute meeting, a source from Barak's One Israel campaign office told the Jordan Times.
		Israeli radio reported that the two were due to discuss ways of reviving the Syrian-Israeli peace talks, suspended since February 1996, but the sources could not confirm whether or not talks focused on the issue.
		Both have been subjected to criticism by the Likud Party — now trailing Labour by eight per cent in opinion polls according to Israeli media reports — whose leaders claim that the two rivals to Netanyahu are exploiting the visits to advance their campaigns.

		The record and programme of the two candidates provides a revealing exposure of Labour’s threadbare claim to be the party of peace and how its true role has been to strengthen the political domination of Likud and the most right-wing sections of the political and military elite.
		The pressing economic and social problems facing both Palestinians and Israelis were virtually ignored in the Labour leadership election, which focused exclusively on how to deal with the Palestinian uprising against Israel’s 34-year occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.
		Between 40-50 percent of Labour’s 117,000 members—including those most alienated by the party’s lurch to the right— did not vote, although in the Arab areas the turnout was 80 percent.

		Israeli Labour Party condemns boycott and upgrading to the status of a university the College of Judea and Samaria in the West Bank
		The party condemns the UK’s Association of University Teachers boycott, viewing it as a discriminatory act that does nothing to promote dialogue and further the peace process which is so desperately required.
		This proposal runs counter to the party’s long-held position of a negotiated settlement with the Palestinian Authority, culminating in a two-state solution and return to the 1967 borders with minor and agreed modifications.
