AmEhad leader Amir Peretz declared his party's focus on socioeconomic issues, calling them the greatest threat to the future of the nation.
Ora Namir, No. 5 on the AmEhad list, who is a former Labor Party minister of social affairs, said the government has "fraudulently" planned to cut National Insurance Institute payments just after the January 28 election.
The AmEhad Party ran for the first time in the 1999 election, winning two seats.
In another of Israel's periodic political consolidations, Avoda has approved a merger agreement with AmEhad, a social democratic party that holds three seats in the current Knesset.
In last October's municipal elections, AmEhad did well in the development towns where Mizrahi voters had traditionally supported Likud.
In the next general election, AmEhad on its own could pull votes from Mizrahim who are dissatisfied with both major parties, much as Shinui did for secular Ashkenazim in 2003, but it might not have the same appeal after it is folded into a party with the Avoda name.
