Israeli Labor Movement

The Israeli Labor Movement emerged in the early 20th century, advocating for workers' rights, social justice, and the development of a Jewish homeland. It played a key role in establishing Israel’s early economy through trade unions and collective efforts, emphasizing socialist ideals like equality and public ownership. The movement also contributed to nation-building, supporting immigration and settlement. Over time, it influenced political power, notably through the Labor Party, shaping policies and social services. While its influence has waned in recent decades, the movement fundamentally shaped Israel’s social, economic, and political landscape.
