The Joint List is an electoral alliance in Israel, initially established in 2015 to maximize representation under the Knesset's method of allocating seats in the 120-member body.
It was originally comprised of the four major Arab-dominated political parties: Hadash, the United Arab List, Balad, and Ta'al; the United Arab List later left the alliance but was replaced by the Arab Democratic Party.
In the current Knesset, they hold six seats but are not part of either the ruling coalition or the official opposition.
Ideologically they are diverse but primarily comprised of liberal-leaning groups (communists, socialists, feminists, Islamists, and Palestinian nationalists). It is not united in support of Jewish-Arab cooperation: Hadash and the United Arab List generally support it while Balad and Ta'al strongly oppose it.
