Israel’s Arab political parties have united for the first time

by Jim Rose in constitutional political economy, Public Choice Tags: , ,

the coalition is a result of a move last year to increase the minimum number of votes a party needs to secure a place in the 120-seat Knesset, Israel’s parliament.

Some saw that change as an attempt to oust small Arab parties, but instead it prompted the fragmented and fairly powerless Arab leadership to unite under the banner of the Joint List.
