The Joint List הרשימה המשותפת

Led by Yousef Jabareen & Ahmad Tibi · 9 projected seats as of 23 October · running for Opposition leadership

Updated

An alliance of three Arab-led parties, revived on 19 August 2026: Hadash's Arab-Jewish communist tradition, Ahmad Tibi's Ta'al, and Balad's demand for a state of all its citizens. It runs on ending the occupation and equal citizenship. Ra'am, in the alliance until 2020, stands alone.

The list, who comes with them

How this list is picked. Each of the three parties, Hadash, Ta'al and Balad, picks its own candidates, and a reconciliation committee sets the combined order, alternating between them at the top. The slip runs under all three registrations, and the seat number comes from polls that price the three together.

Rank on the slip decides who enters the Knesset. Pollsters measure these parties as one list, projected at 9 seats for all of them together, so roughly the top 9 names get in. The tag beside each name says which party it belongs to.
