What is Joint List?
[[File:Joint List logo.png|thumb|Logo of the Joint List, in [[Arabic language|Arabic]] and [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]].]]{{More citations needed}} The '''Joint List''' ({{lang-ar|القائمة المشتركة}}, ''al-Qa'imah al-Mushtarakah'', {{lang-he|הָרְשִׁימָה הַמְּשֻׁתֶּפֶת}}, ''HaReshima HaMeshutefet'') was an [[Israel]]i political cooperation of four, mainly Arab parties, established in 2015. Its ideology depended on its members' ideology, but its common objective were the interests of the [[Arab Israelis]]. Its political leader was [[Ayman Odeh]] (Hadash). The group was founded in [[2015]] as a cooperation of [[Hadash]] ([[communist]]), [[Balad]] ([[social democratic]], [[secular]]), [[Ra'am]] ([[Islamist]]), and [[Ta'al]] ([[right-wing]] [[centrist]], secular). Especially the last three parties are fully Arab and anti-[[Zionist]]. The Joint List was established to prevent the Arab parties from disappearing from the [[Knesset]] due to the raise of the [[election threshold]] (the minimum percentage of votes for a party to get one parliamentary seat), and also to support the [[Zionist Union]] in its effort to replace the third [[Benjamin Netanyahu|Netanyahu]] government. The number of seats won by the Joint List in the 24th [[Knesset]]: 6 (Hadash: 3, Ta'al: 2, Balad: 1). With [[Balad]] wanting to leave the coalition, it was later dissolved in 2022.<ref>{{cite web|title=Arab-led Joint List splits into 2 factions, shuffling political deck at last minute|url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/arab-led-joint-list-splits-into-2-factions-shuffling-political-deck-at-last-minute/|website=[[The Times of Israel]]}}</ref> == References == {{Reflist}}{{Israeli political parties}} {{Politics-stub}} [[Category:2015 establishments in Israel]] [[Category:Political parties in Israel]]
