(One People)
Am Ehad
Founded in 1999
Am Ehad ("One People") was established in early 1999 as a party in the 14th Knesset. It was made up of three members of Knesset who had left the Labor Party: Amir Peretz, Adisu Massala, and Rafik Haj-Yahia. The party existed until 2005, when it merged with the Labor Party.
A socialist party, Am Ehad was identified with the Histadrut labor federation headed by Amir Peretz. It battled for workers’ rights and called for closing social gaps.
