1969 Israeli Legislative Election
Legislative elections were held in Israel on 28 October 1969 to elect members of the seventh Knesset. The ruling Alignment coalition was returned to power with the largest number of seats ever won in an Israeli election (56 out of 120).

As a result, Golda Meir remained Prime Minister. Voter turnout was 81.7%. Parliament factions The table below lists the parliamentary factions represented in the 6th Knesset. Results Aftermath Golda Meir of the Alignment formed the fifteenth government, a national unity government including Gahal, the National Religious Party, the Independent Liberals, Progress and Development and Cooperation and Brotherhood.
