- For the town in Mozambique see Mapai, Mozambique
Mapai (, an acronym for: , lit. "Workers' Party of the
Land of Israel") was a
left-wing political party in
Israel, and was the dominant force in Israeli politics until its merger into the modern-day
Israeli Labor Party in 1968. During Mapai's time in office, a wide range of progressive reforms were carried out, as characterised by the establishment of a welfare state, providing minimum income, security, and free (or almost free) access to housing subsidies and health and social services.
