Politics in Israel - Parties - United Arab List
The United Arab List
(RAAM, Hebrew. acr. of Reshima Aravit Me'uchedet: רשימה ערבית מאוחדת) is
a political party in Israel.
The United Arab List was established in 1996, as a union between two
political forces: The Arab Democratic Party (Hezb al-Democraty al-Arabi
/ Miflaga Democratit Aravit) and elements related to the Islamic
Movement and to the National Unity Front.
Its constituency consists mostly of pious or nationalist Israeli Arab,
and enjoys popularity among the Bedouins. The Islamic Movement also
operates in poor Arab towns and villages, as well as in Bedouin
settlements, to mobilizes voters.
It supports the creation of a Palestinian State with East Jerusalem as
its capital; and a solution of two states - a Jewish and a Palestinian
for the conflict in the region.
