About the party
United Arab List: a list for the 26th Knesset with 73 candidates. The scores rest on the record of 10 of the candidates in previous Knessets. Plenum votes on bills are included up to 28 July 2026, and committee discussions up to 24 March 2026.
Ra'am, the United Arab List, is a party established in 1996 ahead of the election for the 14th Knesset, in which it ran in a joint list with the Arab Democratic Party, which was absorbed into it before the 1999 election. Later it ran with Ta'al in the Ra'am-Ta'al list, and in the 2015, September 2019 and 2020 elections it was part of Joint List. In 2021 it ran alone and received 4 seats, and it became the first independent Arab party to formally join a coalition, in the Bennett-Lapid government. In 2022 it received 5 seats. The list for the 26th Knesset is headed by the party chair Mansour Abbas, and in second place is Yoav Segalovich, a former MK from Yesh Atid and the first Jewish candidate on the Ra'am list, followed by Walid Taha and Walid al-Huashla. According to Abbas and Segalovich, their joining of forces is intended to build a political partnership between Jews and Arabs. On 23 September 2026, the Central Elections Committee disqualified the list, and in early October 2026 the Supreme Court unanimously overturned the decision.
