Political History of Israel began after it was declared an independent state in 1948 and became a home for Jews who were previously being persecuted in many parts of the world especially Europe. Through the Zionist movement which worked towards obtaining a permanent homeland for the Jews they were able to establish the state of Israel by gaining International support.

After independence David Ben-Gurion became the prime minister for 15 years and the Government was headed by the Labor Party for 29 years. Withing this period the country experienced a high growth rate in both population and economy.Levi Eshkol succeeded David in 1963 and formed the Government with the Herut movement. During this time the Six day War broke out which was against Egypt and Palestine. After Levi died in 1969 Golda Meir took over but when the Yom Kippur War broke out in 1973 he resigned.

itzhak Rabin headed the next government starting 1974 and signed agreements of disengagement with Egypt and Syria. During this time the Soviet bloc and many African countries broke off their ties with Israel.

Menachem Begin took over power under the Lukid bloc that crashed the Labor party. In 1979 he reached a peace treaty with Egypt that they would exchange peace for land. During this time inflation went up and the stock market crashed. Begin was forced to resign by the Lebanon War and Yitzhak Shamir took office after him. The war lasted until 1984 when the Prime Minister Perez withdrew troops from Lebanon. He was also able to curb inflation and the economy became stable.

In 1988 the Gaza War broke out and Iraq fired 39 missiles into Israel. In 1992 the Labor party took over the Government again led by Yitzhak Rabin who had held the position of defense minister previously.

In 1994 Palestinians were granted autonomy in the Gaza strip and the West Bank. International relations improved and a peace agreement was reached with Jordan. Rabin was then assassinated in 1995.

Netanyahu was elected using a new system of polling and additional records were signed with the Palestine but lost to Ehud Barak in 1999. Ariel Sharon became prime minister and later resigned due to health problems and Ehud Olmert took over.

Benjamin Netanyahu regained the seat in 2007 and is the current Prime minister. Though there is an office of the president the Prime minister holds executive powers.
