The 2021 Israeli Labor Party leadership election was held on 24 January 2021 in the lead-up to the 2021 Israeli legislative election.
The candidates were Merav Michaeli, Avi Shaked, Yitzhak Taym, Gil Beilin, Navah Katz, David Landsman, and Ofer Segman. Michaeli won the leadership election with 77.5% of the vote.[1]
Former Labor leader Amir Peretz was appointed Economy minister, while Itzik Shmuli was appointed as the head of the Labor, Social Affairs, and Social Services ministry in the Thirty-fifth government of Israel,[2] despite Peretz promising to not join a Netanyahu-led government.[3] Michaeli did not join the government.[4]
Peretz announced on 23 December that he would neither run for the leadership of the party, nor run for a Knesset seat.[5] He attempted to cancel the primaries, but the Tel Aviv District Court on 3 January 2021 ordered primaries to be held.[6] Peretz appealed to the Supreme Court of Israel (which found in favor of Michaeli on 14 January and set the date of the election for 24 January).[7]
