In 1977, Rakah (see
COMMUNIST PARTY;
NEW COMMUNIST LIST [RAKAH]) and some members of the Israeli
Black Panthers joined to form the Hadash (acronym for Hazit Demokratit Leshalom Uleshivyon)
political party. Hadash, the Democratic Front for Peace and Equality, contested
Knesset elections beginning in 1977. Its program has called for Israeli withdrawal from all the territories occupied in the
Six-Day War, the establishment of an independent
Palestinian state, recognition of the
Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) as the representative of the Palestinians, and a number of measures to improve the situation of the disadvan-taged classes in Israel. The party won five seats in the 14th
Knesset (1996) and three seats in the 15th Knesset (1999). Hadash—in coalition with
Ta'al (
Arab Movement for Change), headed by
Ahmed Tibi—won three seats in the 2003 election and three in 2006.
