The Rafi party (רשימת פועלי ישראל Reshimat Po'aley Yisrael "List of the workers of Israel") was formed in 1965 by former Prime Minister of Israel David Ben Gurion, after he and a number of other Mapai members split with his successor, Levi Eshkol. The split was over the Lavon affair, as Ben Gurion did not agree to declare Lavon innocent without judicial investigation committee. Another issue of difference was the "Labour Alignment" formed in 1965, when Mapai joined with Labour Unity.
