Israel Faces Economic Struggles Under Socialist Government
The new Israeli state operates with a continental European socialist framework aided by a diverse 1949 election. Ben-Gurion leads Mapai, forming a bloc with Orthodox factions. Tensions arise from calls for Mosaic law and the limits of private enterprise amid mass Jewish immigration and reliance on American aid.
