		Israel's major labor party, Mapai ( Mifleget Poalei Eretz Israel — Land of Israel Worker’s Party), was established in 1930 as a Zionist-socialist party and served as the dominant political party in the pre-state and early post-state years.
		The left-of-center Mapai led every coalition and owned the Premiership from 1948 until the party merged into the Labor alignment in 1968.
		Party power began to wane as a result the Lavon Affair and the subsequent infighting.

		Mapai, and subsequently the Labor party or Alignment, have been in control throughout, and all Secretaries General have come from its ranks.
		Founded upon the merger of Achdut Ha'Avoda and Hapoel Hatzair in 1930, it constituted the the central and dominant political force in the Labor movement, in the Yishuv of Palestine, in the Zionist movement and later in the State of Israel.
		Although Mapai retained a reduced plurality in the Knesset in elections of 1974, and even though the Commission of Inquiry did not find her personally responsible for the surprise at the beginning of the Yom Kippur War, she resigned from the government and from the Knesset in the wake of that war in 1974.

	University Press of Florida - Reading Room Features
		Mapai was created in 1930 in a merger between two parties, Achdut Ha’avodah, which defined itself as moderate socialist, and the nonsocialist Hapoel Hatza’ir.
		Mapai did not suffer a significant decrease in support until 1946, when it fell to 37.5 percent due to the separate appearance of two labor parties that had broken with it: the Le’achdut Ha’avodah movement and Hashomer Hatza’ir.
		Mapai disagreed deeply with the radical left over the Yishuv’s external orientation and the solution to the Palestine question, but these disputes surfaced only at the height of the Second World War, and in any event the radical left represented a minority view.

		Air strikes would be made on Barragem, Mapai and Maxaila in an effort to so demoralise the occupants that they would abandon their bases because with their road, rail and bridge links destroyed behind them and with communications, supplies and water cut off, the enemy, especially at Mapai, would be in a very vulnerable position.

		Mapai is a Hebrew acronym for the Israel Workers Party, the dominant Zionist movement in pre-Israel Palestine and the ruling political party for the first decades after Israel's independence.
		But Mapai members were also renowned for their pragmatism, for knowing when to compromise and consolidate their gains while hoping to expand them in the future.
		The Mapai ethos was already discernible in 1925, when the Zionist movement accepted Great Britain's decision to exclude Transjordan from the area promised to the Jews under its Palestine Mandate.

	Israel Studies--Integration of Yemenites in Israeli Schools
		The uproar over the education of Yemenite children in the immigrant moshav [cooperative agricultural settlement] of Amka, in the north of Israel, is one of the most flagrant examples of the kind of absorption that met new immigrants from Islamic countries in the first years of Israel's independence.
		In the years that have passed, confidential documents from the highest echelons of Mapai have been made public, revealing that, among the party elite, it was common knowledge that the Moshav Movement was flouting the Compulsory Education Law and that anti-religious coercion was taking place at Amka.
		It should also be mentioned, however, that in the first years of Israel's statehood, Mapai fielded more active instructors for assisting the immigrants than any other political party, as well as more people who volunteered their time, energy, and experience in response to their movement's "call up" to aid in absorption.

		The major partner in the labour alliance and (by its antecedents) the oldest party in Palestine-Israel was Mapai (an acronym for Mifleget Po'ale Eretz Yisra'el [“Party of the Workers of the Land of Israel”]).
		Mapai was formed in 1930 through the merger of two older labour parties, Ahdut ha-'Avoda (“Unity of Workers”), which was founded in 1919, and ha-Po'el ha-Tza'ir (“Young Worker”), which was founded in 1905 and was the first party of David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime minister.
		Mapai quickly became the dominant party among Jews in Palestine, and, after Israel achieved its independence in 1948, it controlled the government for 29 years (from 1968 as part of the Israel Labour Party).

		The destruction of the radar station was followed by more air strikes on Mapai by Canberras and Hunters after which troop carrying helicopters arrived on the scene.
		General Walls was in the Command Dakota which was circling to the north of Mapai and late in the afternoon he ordered the attacking force to withdraw.
		Obviously their information concerning the strength of the enemy in Mapai was seriously deficient and one wonders why.

		Ahdut HaAvoda was aligned with Mapai from 1965 to 1968 when both were absorbed into the Labor Party.

		Mapai se convirtió en el partido gobernante en ambas instituciones para-estatales, si bien había una diferencia esencial entre ellas: la Histadrut regía sobre los trabajadores y sobre la Sociedad de los Trabajadores, mientras que la Agencia Judía se encargaba de la recolección de capital en el extranjero y su traslado a Eretz Israel.
		La Histadrut y Mapai lograron salir de estos aprietos sólo después de 1967, una vez que se volvió a crear un mercado laboral separado en que los obreros judíos se debilitaron y el Estado tomó nuevamente cargos limitados de control en las relaciones entre judíos y palestinos y el control de la economía.
		Esta actividad dejó su marca en Mapai durante largos años, ya que, durante su transcurso, se cristalizó un grupo dirigente del aparato partidario y de la Histadrut, que se caracterizaba por la multiplicidad de lazos con las diversas capas de los organismos.

		These people were instrumental in establishing the original Labor Zionist parties beginning in 1905, in merging them to establish Mapai in 1930, and in organizing the Histadrut and Jewish self-defense institutions, such as the Haganah (see Glossary), which later became the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in 1920.
		Its legitimacy as a ruling party was seldom questioned because it was identified with the mystique of the Zionist struggle for independence, patriotism, and the successful consolidation of statehood.
		The essentially secular political values espoused by Mapai leaders were endorsed by most of the Jewish population.
