Three major Arab parties announce joint election slate, fourth to join

The Arab parties will run together in a 'technical joint list' in upcoming elections

Hadash, Ta'al, Balad, and Ra'am agreed to form a technical joint list for the upcoming Israeli elections, preserving each party's full political and public independence. The move is driven by declining Arab voter turnout and the risk that separate runs would push some parties below the electoral threshold, potentially erasing Arab representation in the Knesset.
