In 1977For the album by Ash, see 1977 (album). Events January 1 First woman Episcopal priest ordained January 6 EMI sacks the Sex Pistols January 18 Scientists identify a previously unknown bacterium as the cause of the mysterious " legionnaire's disease" Januar, following Yitzhak Rabin resignation from office, the ILP lost the elections to Begin.
During the 1980's it formed a unity government with the Likud, which broke up in 1988 following a failing political scam of Peres and Shas leader Arie Deri .
In 1992, the ILP won the election and Yitzhak Rabin was elected as prime minister. During his term, he signed a peace treaty with Jordan and ran the Oslo process. The rise of terror following The Oslo process has eventually led to Rabin's assassination by an right-wing extremist Yigal Amir. Shimon Peres replaced Rabin until 1996, when he lost the elections to Likud's Benjamin Netanyahu following a wave of suicide bombings by Palestinian terror group Hamas.
On 1999, Ehud Barak beat Shimon Peres and became the leader of the party and its canidate from the prime minister office. The election were with two votes - one for the Knesset and one for prime-minister. Ehud Barak created "One Israel" (ישראל אחת) - a joint list of the Labour, David Levy's Gesher and the religious Zionist Meimad . Barak's campaign was focusing on social and economical issues, and his reputation as "not-politician" and "not-passing-screen" helped him to overcome and replace in office the slick and charismatic Likud's canidate Benjamin Nethanyahu .
However, Ehud Barak tenure was short. He started by forming a 75-members coalition of Israel-One (26), Shas (17), Meretz (10), Israel-BaAlyia (5), Mafdal (5) and United Torah Judaism (5). The coalition with religious right wing parties such as Mafdal, Shas and United Torah Judaism caused tensions with leftist and secularist Meretz. Meretz was the first to quit coalition after a fight with Shas over the authorities to deputy education minister. The rest of the parties left it before the Camp David 2000 summit in the summer. Following October 2000 riots and the violence of the al-Aqsa Intifada, Barak resigned from office and was replaced by Ariel Sharon in 2001 (the elections were only for prime-minister).
Ariel Sharon formed a unity government with Likud, Labour, Shas, Israel-BaAlyia and United Torah Judaism. The Labour got two important cabinet portfolios: Shimon Peres was appointed as Minister of Foreign Affairs and Benjanin Ben-Eliezer was appointed as Minister of Defence. The Labour supported Operation Defensive Shield, which was conducted in April 2002 against Palestinian terrorists in the West Bank. The Labour quit the government in 2003, after harsh criticism on Peres and Ben-Elizer, that they are using as "yesmen" for Sharon, and not promoting the peace process.
On 2003, general election were held. While Likud won 40 mandates, the Labour - headed by Amram Maztna, won only 19 mandates. It was considered as a hugh blow to the "Old Lady" of the Israeli politics. After the lost, Mitzna resigned from the Labour chairmanship and Shimon Peres was appointed to a temporary chairman.
On November 2004, former prime minister Ehud Barak announced his intention to run again for prime minister office as the Labor chairman, causing fear and preasure among Labour's senior politicians.
