Poll standing
How is a party's poll standing determined?
This status is calculated automatically from the latest polls shown on this site — one per outlet we track. We check how many of them report the party crossing the electoral threshold (rather than assuming this from the seat count alone), and also show the range and average of its projected seats in those same polls. Polls reflect a snapshot at the time they were published and are not a forecast of the election result.

What is the electoral threshold?
The electoral threshold is the minimum share of the vote a list needs in order to take part in the allocation of Knesset seats. In Knesset elections the threshold is 3.25% of valid votes. A list that does not pass the threshold does not take part in the seat allocation.
Source: Knesset website – glossaryAverage 5.6 seats · Recent range: 5–6
How many votes are needed for one seat?
There is no fixed number of votes per seat. The number of votes needed changes in every election, depending on the number of valid votes and on which parties pass the electoral threshold. The final allocation of seats is made using the Bader–Ofer method.

Platform and Positions
No official 2026 platform was found, and the party's positions have not yet been added.
We couldn't find a detailed, official platform published by this party for this election.
The platform link on the party's Knesset TV page leads to an especially old document: the copyright line in the file's own footer reads 1999, and it also contains an internal file-path reference dated 12/08/2002. The document's actual content reflects much earlier-era positions of "the United Arab List," predating Ra'am's 2021 split from the joint Arab list and its subsequent role as a governing coalition partner — not a current platform, let alone one for 2026.
