History
The Left Faction was formed on 20 February 1952 (during the
Secret Speech at the 20th Party Congress

Unhappy with the move, several Mapam MKs left the party;
Israeli Arab MK representing a Zionist party), Adolf Berman and Moshe Sneh
established the Left Faction.
However, the party ceased to exist on 1 November 1954 when Bastuni returned to Mapam and Berman and Sneh joined the communist party, Maki.[1]
