The opening as it read in 2025

Israeli electoral alliance, 2015 to 2022 For electoral joint lists in general, see electoral alliance . The Joint List ( Arabic : القائمة المشتركة , al-Qa'imah al-Mushtarakah , Hebrew : הָרְשִׁימָה הַמְּשֻׁתֶּפֶת , HaReshima HaMeshutefet ) was a political alliance of four of the Arab -majority political parties in Israel: Hadash , Balad , the United Arab List and Ta'al . The United Arab List left the alliance on 28 January 2021. With Balad wanting to leave the coalition, it was subsequently dissolved in 2022. The alliance was the third-largest faction in the Knesset after the 2015 election , estimated to have received 82% of the Arab vote. In January 2019, Ta'al split from the alliance, and the remaining coalition was dissolved on 21 February 2019. The Joint List was reestablished on 28 July for the September 2019 election , in which it won 13 seats and was again the third-largest faction. In the 2020 elections , the Joint List increased its seats from 13 to 15, described by Haaretz as "an unprecedented showing". In the buildup to the 2021 elections , the Islamic conservative-leaning United Arab List left the Joint List due to ideological disagreements and ran on its own, gaining four seats, while the seats held by the Joint List fell to six. The alliance broke up prior to the 2022 elections , with Hadash and Ta'al running together and Balad running alone. The Times of Israel . The New York Times . p. The Times of Israel .
