There, he was greeted by a mob of angry protesters, who called him "Peres Arafat", a "traitor", and a "maniac", and threw buckets of cold water at him, forcing dozens of police officers being called to guide Peres away from the demonstrators.9 October 1988 Beit-Shemesh 88: This time Peres gets a rude awakening! https://www.nli.org.il/en/newspapers/hadashot/1988/10/09/01/article/32/?srpos=21&e=01-01-1984-31-12-1988--en-20--21-byDA.rev-img-txIN%7CtxTI-%D7%A1%D7%A7%D7%A8++AND+%D7%9C%D7%99%D7%9B%D7%95%D7%93-------------1 Hadashot On the same day, Ratz's Yossi Sarid unsuccessfully testified to the Central Elections Committee to block the ultranationalist pro-transfer Moledet party from running, while the Progressive leader Muhammad Miari demanded to disqualify Moledet, Tehiya and Tzomet. This came as the Justice Minister Avraham Sharir (Likud) tried to get Miari arrested for meeting with Yasser Arafat. Ratz's surge in the polls caused fear among the right-wing parties. Likud's youth wing handed out letters saying, "If you want a big strong Ratz, but in opposition, vote for Ratz, but if you want a smaller Ratz, but in government, vote for the Alignment." During the campaign, left-wing parties were in a state of conflict. Mapam and Ratz rejected the possibility of running on a joint list.Yerushalmi Shalom 26 February 1988 Renewed initiative to unite Mapam and Ratz https://www.nli.org.il/he/newspapers/kolhair/1988/02/26/01/article/55/?srpos=24&e=-------he-20--21--img-txIN%7CtxTI-%09+%D7%A8%D7%A6+%D7%9E%D7%A4%D7%9D%E2%80%8E+----1988---------1 Kol Ha'ir 20 When Ratz signed a surplus vote agreement with the Alignment, Mapam accused Ratz of wanting to "remove Mapam from the political scene", to which Ratz leader Shulamit Aloni responded by saying that "Mapam's panic is understandable. It is a spoiled party, rich in assets and jobs, which fears any young, fresh organization without vested economic interests that comes to fight with clean hands." She also highlighted the inevitability of the two parties becoming allies, comparing Mapam to the biblical character Saul throwing his spear at David.Verter Yossi 17 August 1988 Mapam: Ratz wants to eliminate us https://www.nli.org.il/he/newspapers/hadashot/1988/08/17/01/article/46/?srpos=1&e=-------he-20--1--img-txIN%7CtxTI-%09+%D7%A8%D7%A6+%D7%9E%D7%A4%D7%9D%E2%80%8E+----1988---------1 Hadashot 4 Further to the left, there was outright hostility between the Progressive List for Peace and Hadash, resulting in physical altercations between their activists.1989-03-09 The Elections, the Peace Camp and the Left - MERIP https://www.merip.org/1989/03/the-elections-the-peace-camp-and-the-left/ 2025-12-30 Middle East Research and Information Project en The PLP criticised Ratz for giving its 'unconditional' support to Shimon Peres's bid to become prime minister, while ignoring the fact that Peres was set to appoint Yitzhak Rabin, who the PLP called 'a minister of blood and gore', as Defense Minister. The PLP criticised Ratz, Hadash, Mapam and Shinui for not assembling a coherent singular force for peace in the Knesset. The PLP also stated they would not support a Peres-led government if it was not up to their standards.Advertisement by the Progressive List For Peace https://www.nli.org.il/en/newspapers/kolhair/1988/10/07/01/article/127.1/?srpos=20&e=-------en-20--1--img-txIN%7CtxTI-%D7%97%D7%93%D7%B4%D7%A9+AND+%D7%94%D7%A8%D7%A9%D7%99%D7%9E%D7%94+%D7%94%D7%9E%D7%AA%D7%A7%D7%93%D7%9E%D7%AA+%D7%9C%D7%A9%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%9D----1988---------1 Kol Ha'ir 57 Hebrew plp7oct The Jericho bus firebombing, which killed an Israeli mother and her three children, galvanised voters to force a last-minute swing to the right, just when the Alignment was gaining on the Likud in polls.Meisels, Andrew and Gradstein, Linda (November 1, 1988) "Firebombing Of Bus May Tilt Israeli Election To The Right" https://web.archive.org/web/20181007073709/http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1988-11-01/news/8803040044_1_labor-party-west-bank-israeli October 7, 2018, Sun Sentinel(December 9, 1988) "A Year of Palestinian Revolt", The New York TimesBrinkley Joel Campaign in Israel Eclipsed by Deaths In Attack by Arabs https://www.nytimes.com/1988/11/01/world/campaign-in-israel-eclipsed-by-deaths-in-attack-by-arabs.html May 2, 2017 The New York Times November 1, 1988Frankel Glenn Firebombing Deaths Stun, Anger Israelis https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1988/11/01/firebombing-deaths-stun-anger-israelis/f3ce40d5-d861-4e3f-83b0-91065dc4d695/ May 2, 2017 The Washington Post November 1, 1988 Party slogans Party or allianceOriginal sloganסיסמאות בפוליטיקה הישראלית https://he.wikiquote.org/wiki/%D7%A1%D7%99%D7%A1%D7%9E%D7%90%D7%95%D7%AA_%D7%91%D7%A4%D7%95%D7%9C%D7%99%D7%98%D7%99%D7%A7%D7%94_%D7%94%D7%99%D7%A9%D7%A8%D7%90%D7%9C%D7%99%D7%AA Hebrew Wikiquote 28 December 2025English translationRefs Likud "͏͏͏͏͏͏͏͏͏͏͏͏רק הליכוד יכול" "Only the Likud can" כרוזים וכרזות בחירות 1988 https://web.nli.org.il/sites/nli/hebrew/collections/treasures/elections/elections_materials/pages/elect_ephemera_1988.aspx 2025-12-23 web.nli.org.il he-IL Alignment "המערך, הדרך לפריצת דרך" "The Alignment, the path to a breakthrough" Mafdal"צריך אמונה במדינה""We need faith in the country" Mapam "הפעם מפם" "This time, Mapam" Hadash "שתי מדינות לשני העמים" "Two states for two peoples" Ratz "העובדות מצביעות רצ" "The facts point to Ratz" סיסמת הבחירות העובדות מצביעות רצ ⁨מעריב⁩ 12 אוגוסט 1988 אוסף העיתונות הספרייה הלאומית https://www.nli.org.il/he/newspapers/mar/1988/08/12/01/article/55 2025-12-23 www.nli.org.il heShinui"יש פתרון שפוי- המרכז: שינוי!""There is a sensible solution, the centre - Shinui!"Tehiya"זה הזמן להתעורר לתחייה""It's time to wake up to Tehiya [a revival]"Tzomet"כל הדרכים מובילות לצומת""All roads lead to Tzomet [crossroad]"Moledet"מולדת יש רק אחת""There is only one homeland"Degel HaTorah"הפעם יש ברירה- דגל התורה""This time there is a choice - Degel HaTorah" Debates DateOrganizerModerator black #90FF90  P  Present   black #CCFFCC  I  Invitee black #FFD0D0  N  Non-invitee LikudAlignmentRefsPYitzhak ShamirPShimon Pereshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmgAh-mXzRg עימות בחירות 1988 YouTube Surplus-vote agreements D'Hondt method Two parties could make a surplus-vote agreement so that they were considered to be running on a joint list when leftover seats were distributed. The Bader–Ofer method favors larger lists, meaning that a joint list is more likely to receive leftover seats than each list would individually. If such a joint list were to receive a leftover seat, the Bader–Ofer method would be applied a second time to determine which of the parties that make up the joint list would receive it.The Distribution of Knesset Seats Among the Lists – the Bader-Offer Method, Knesset website The following agreements were signed by parties prior to the election:https://www.nevo.co.il/law_html/Law10/YALKUT-3588.pdf Publications Notebook 3588 170 Notice regarding communications between the lists of candidates for the Knesset Alignment-Ratz Shas-Degel HaTorah Mapam-Shinui Likud-Tehiya The Movement for a Just Society - Yemenite Association in Israel Opinion polls The Israel Broadcasting Authority separated the parties into two blocs: Left-wing: Jewish: Alignment, Ratz, Mapam, Shinui, Meimad Arab: Hadash, PLP, Mada Right-wing: Secular: Likud, Tehiya, Tzomet, Moledet.

Political observers noted that if Hadash and the Progressive List for Peace had made a surplus vote agreement, the latter would have won a surplus seat, which was ultimately won by the Shas-Degel surplus agreement. Aftermath List of members of the twelfth Knesset Likud's Yitzhak Shamir formed the twenty-third government on 22 December 1988, including the Alignment, the National Religious Party, Shas, Agudat Yisrael and Degel HaTorah in his coalition, with 25 ministers. In 1990 Shimon Peres tried to form an Alignment-led coalition in a move that became known as "the dirty trick", but failed to win sufficient support. Eventually Shamir formed the twenty-fourth government on 11 June 1990, with a coalition encompassing Likud, the National Religious Party, Shas, Agudat Yisrael, Degel HaTorah, the New Liberal Party, Tehiya, Tzomet, Moledet, Unity for Peace and Immigration and Geulat Yisrael. Tehiya, Tzomet and Moledet all left the coalition in late 1991/early 1992 in protest at Shamir's participation in the Madrid Conference. Several defections occurred during the Knesset term; five members of Likud left to form the Party for the Advancement of the Zionist Idea. After two of them returned, the party was renamed the New Liberal Party. Yitzhak Peretz left Shas and established Moria. Eliezer Mizrahi left Agudat Yisrael and established Geulat Yisrael. Efraim Gur left the Alignment to establish Unity for Peace and Immigration, which later merged into Likud. The Twelfth Knesset saw the rise of the ultra-orthodox religious parties as a significant force in Israeli politics, and as a crucial "swing" element which could determine which of the large two secular parties (Likud, Alignment) would get to form the coalition government. Ratz, Mapam, and Shinui merged into Meretz, while Black Panthers broke away from Hadash.
