Summary
The election at the end of July resulted in an effective equal split whereby neither the Labour Alignment nor the Likud could form a workable coalition. Both lost seats. A national coalition government was therefore established whereby Labour, the largest party, would take the premiership for the first two years and Likud for the second two years. By September, Shimon Peres had established the largest coalition in Israeli history, constituting eight parties and 97 of the 120 MKs. Shas, the party of the Mizrahi ultra-orthodox established by Ovadia Yosef, gained representation for the first time and subsequently held ministerial posts. Peres became prime minister and Rabin minister of defence.
