Founded on January 21, 1968 through the merger of Mapai, Ahdut HaAvoda and Rafi. According to Wikipedia, in 2024 the party leadership approved a merger with Meretz into a new party called 'The Democrats', and in August 2026 an official name change was approved. This should be checked against the Knesset's current data, where the party still appears as 'Labor'. · Source ↗
