The article focuses on the development of the participation of Arab and Palestinian factions in Israeli elections since 1949. Initially, this participation was linked to Zionist parties and included traditional figures from Palestinian society. This model began to decline in the early 1980s, giving way to independent Arab parties such as the Arab Democratic Party, the Islamic Movement, and the Democratic National Assembly, which achieved parliamentary successes. In recent years, some Arab figures have shifted towards working within independent Arab parties or forming alliances with Zionist Israeli parties, aiming to garner internal support and achieve Palestinian demands by operating within Israeli institutions. One example is Mansour Abbas, who seeks to form alliances with Jewish politicians to ensure Palestinian representation, especially amidst the dominance of the far-right Israeli political landscape and the weakening of local and international power balances.
