The Arab parties in Israel's 2026 election
The Arab parties run in 2026 on two lists: the Joint List (Hadash, Ta'al and Balad) and Ra'am. In 2021 Ra'am became the first Arab party to join a governing coalition.
The bloc's lists
In Votes26's grouping, 2 lists belong to the Arab parties in 2026. The grouping is for display only: the projection counts every list on its own.
- Joint List (ודם) — Ahmad Tibi and Yousef Jabareen
- Ra'am (עם) — Mansour Abbas
The bloc's seats since 2019
The seats won by the lists Votes26 places in the bloc, election by election: 2019 (Sept.): 13 · 2020: 15 · 2021: 10 · 2022: 10. The Knesset has 120 members; 61 is a majority.
What to watch tonight
A bloc is measured in seats, not percentages: a list that falls below the threshold takes its votes off the bloc, so the race at the line can decide the majority.
