Hadash–Ta'al (Arabic: حداش–جبهة, Hebrew: חד״ש־תע״ל) is a joint electoral list in Israel, composed of two political parties, Hadash and Ta'al. The list was established for the first time in 2003 for the election to the 16th Knesset, and ran again in the elections of April 2019 and 2022.

History

Hadash–Ta'al ran in the 2003 legislative election and won three seats. In the 2006 legislative election, Hadash ran independently in the 2006 legislative election, while Ta'al ran as part of the Ra'am-Ta'al list.

In the 20th Knesset, the parties were part of the Joint List faction. Ahead of the April 2019 legislative election, Ta'al split from the faction,[2] but finally Hadash and Ta'al united once more. At the head of the list was Hadash chairman Ayman Odeh, and Ta'al's chairman Ahmad Tibi was in second place.[3] On March 6, 2019, the Central Elections Committee for the 21st Knesset decided to disqualify the list candidate Ofer Cassif, contrary to the position of the Attorney General.[4] The Supreme Court overturned the disqualification.

In the April 2019 legislative election, Hadash–Ta'al won 193,442 votes, six seats in the Knesset. For the next election, the two parties returned to the Joint List.[citation needed] Ahead of the 2022 legislative election, the Joint List broke up again when Balad decided to submit a separate list from the other parties that were members of the Joint List, and therefore Hadash and Ta'al reached an agreement to run jointly, with Hadash chairman Ayman Odeh in first place, and Ta'al leader Ahmad Tibi in second.[5][6]
