One of the Foundation’s most significant undertakings was the creation of the “Ze’ev Jabotinsky Citadel” in Tel Aviv. What began as the Trumpeldor Club—home to the Beitar Movement (Revisionist Youth) in 1928 and a clandestine meeting place for Etzel underground fighters—grew into the formidable Jabotinsky House, a 14-story symbol of the movement. It was within these walls that Menachem Begin celebrated his historic 1977 electoral victory.

When construction of the Citadel commenced in 1935, the site lay on the fringe of the first Hebrew city. By the time of its completion and expansion in 1965, it had become an enduring central icon of Tel Aviv’s political and cultural landscape—the heart of the Revisionist and Herut movements. Today, the building serves as the headquarters of the Likud movement and houses three museums: the Jabotinsky Museum, the Etzel Museum, and the Museum of Fighters and Partisans.

The General Federation of Laborers in the Land of Israel, known simply as the Histadrut (federation), was established in 1920, driven in large part by a new wave of Russian and Eastern European immigrants with strong roots in socialist ideology. Despite the failure of earlier attempts to unify workers’ organizations, the Histadrut quickly became one of the most powerful economic and political institutions in British Mandatory Palestine. By 1927, more than three-quarters of the Jewish workforce were members of the Histadrut.

After independence, the Histadrut became one of the most powerful institutions in the State of Israel and a mainstay of the Labor Zionist movement. In addition to its role as a trade union, its state-building efforts made it the owner of a number of businesses and factories and, for a time, the largest employer in the country.

Mapai (Mifleget Poalei Eretz Yisrael—The Workers Party of the Land of Israel) was established in 1930 as a result of the union of two parties: Ahdut HaAvoda party and Hapoel HaTzair. Throughout its existence, Mapai was the largest, strongest, and most dominant party on the political map. During the British Mandate, it controlled the national institutions, the Zionist Congresses, and the Histadrut labor federation. After the establishment of the State of Israel, Mapai assumed a central position in the Knesset, in the government, in most of the local authorities, and in many other institutions, authorities, and organizations. Four Prime Ministers—David Ben-Gurion, Moshe Sharett, Levi Eshkol, and Golda Meir—were from Mapai. As a typical mass party, Mapai was very involved in the lives of citizens, inter alia providing social services such as a health fund, sports club, and youth movement.

Mapai’s support bases included the Histadrut, the cooperative settlement movement (moshavim), and the collective settlement movement (kibbutzim), although in the decades following the establishment of the State, the agricultural forces lost some of their clout to urban forces. Although Mapai’s socialism was always pragmatic, the younger generation in Mapai demanded even greater pragmatism, as opposed to the veterans, whose socialist ideological positions were stronger. Mapai’s security policy was also pragmatic compared to that of its sister parties in Europe, due to Israel’s unique security problems. This position made it easier for Mapai to form coalitions with parties to its right. On matters of religion and state, the party supported maintaining the status quo (which Ben-Gurion had initiated), which meant integrating the religious and ultra-Orthodox sectors into Israeli society while opposing the possibility of having the state governed by Jewish law (Halacha).

In 1965, Mapai and Labor Unity ran together under the Alignment (Ma’arach) list. In 1968, These two parties, along with Rafi, merged into the Israeli Labor Party.
