The election at the end of July resulted in an effective equal split whereby neither the Labour Alignment nor the Likud could form a workable coalition. Both lost seats.

By September, Shimon Peres had established the largest coalition in Israeli history, constituting eight parties and 97 of the 120 MKs.

Peres became prime minister and Rabin minister of defence.
