A joint Jewish-Arab party called 'Makom Lekulanu' was officially established today, headed by Rula Daoud and Alon-Lee Green, aiming to offer a political home for Jews and Arabs working for peace, equality, social justice, and fighting violence and crime.
Today, a new political party named 'Makom Lekulanu' (A Place for All of Us) was officially announced, positioning itself as a joint Jewish-Arab electoral slate for the 2026 Knesset elections. The party will be led by Rula Daoud and Alon-Lee Green, according to a report by N12. Its platform calls for peace, equality, social justice, and combating violence and crime, framing itself as a new political home for both Jews and Arabs.
This launch adds a third major Jewish-Arab political initiative to the current election cycle, alongside existing Arab-majority parties and a growing field of new candidates. As The Zioneer previously reported, Hadash, Ta'al, and Balad finalized a joint list last week without Ra'am, which remains on a separate coalition-oriented path. Ra'am chairman Mansour Abbas has stated his party is committed to partnership within a governing coalition, while the other Arab parties head to the opposition.
The newly formed 'Makom Lekulanu' enters a crowded center-left and Arab political field, though its leadership structure and potential voter base remain to be tested in campaigning. The party's name and framing explicitly target voters seeking a binational civic platform distinct from the existing sectoral Arab lists or the mainstream Zionist parties.
