There is no chance of a reunion between the Mapai Party and Rafi, the independent political group formed by ex-Premier David Ben-Gurion when he broke away from Mapai last summer, according to a statement by Mr. Ben-Gurion published here today. Writing in the Rafi organ, Mabat Hadash, Mr. Ben-Gurion rejected a call for Mapai-Rafi reconciliation issued by Davar, the organ of Histadrut, the Israel federation of labor and backbone of Mapai. In his negative reaction to Davar’s reconciliation proposal, Mr. Ben-Gurion also renewed his personal attack against Prime Minister Levi Eshkol.
