The Democrats (Hebrew: הדמוקרטים[romanization needed]) is a Zionist political party in Israel, formed by the merger of the leftist Israeli Labor and Meretz parties in July 2024. It is led by Yair Golan, who was the Labor Party leader prior to the merger and previously served as an MK for the Democratic Union, before joining Meretz.
