The campaign is marked by a mix of personalities and political philosophies with roots in the Lavon Affair of November 1954. Pinkas Lavon, defense minister then and a Mapai leader close to Ben Gurion, is central to the unresolved questions about responsibility.

Israel election shifts as 13 lists enter race
Thirteen parties have entered lists of candidates in this canvass, exactly half the number which campaigned in November 1959. The election is for a four year term with 120 Knesset seats.
