  "summary": "The Joint Arab List and Ra'am are two of the parties competing for votes in Israel's upcoming election on October 27, 2026. The Joint List, comprising Yousef Jabareen's Hadash, Ahmad Tibi's Ta'al, and Sami Abu Shehadeh's Balad, re-established itself in a reduced format after months of negotiations on whether and how the four main Arab parties would run together. While the four parties initially agreed to work toward a complete joint list, Ra'am chairperson Mansour Abbas has not joined the Arab alliance, hoping his party could be invited to the next coalition independently. The addition of a Jewish candidate, Yoav Segalovitz, to Ra'am's list has been seen as a move to make the party a more viable coalition partner. Ra'am is currently polling at about five seats, while the reduced Joint List is expected to secure approximately eight. Despite the Arab parties' agreement to form a joint list, most opposition parties have rejected the possibility of forming a government with any of the Arab parties.",
