Arab satellite lists

[2] The time span under military rule [he] (1948–1966) was described as the "golden age" of satellite parties.

[5] According to Israeli scholar Rebecca Kook, Maki and Rakah were considered the only parties to truly represent Arab interests until the Progressive List for Peace won two seats in the 1984 elections.

[7] Most of the lists survived more than one term, and all were subservient to the policies of their patron Mapai.

[3] The lists were put together based on local influence, clans and religion.

The Alignment, an alliance of the Labor Party and Mapam, saw its share of the Arab vote triple in the elections,[11] whilst the UAL failed to cross the electoral threshold.
