Abstract: The pattern of Israeli party politics was basically formed before the founding of the State of Israel. The establishment of the state provided a wider space for Israeli party politics which has played a critical role in the process of Israeli modernization. Israel’s multiparty system is influenced by four factors: immigrant society,single-proportion representation,direct election of the Prime Minister,and changes in economic structure. Diversified immigrant society,complicated conflicts of ethnic groups,strained geographical environment and the Jews’ religious attributes together with the Jewish attributes of Israel commonly shaped the uniqueness of Israeli party politics. It has experienced a process from the Israeli Labor Party leading to the bipartisan competition between the Labor Party and the Likud to the fragmented pattern of party politics,with the further development of Israeli democratic politics.
