Three of the four factions of Joint List – Hadash, Ta'al and Balad – have signed an agreement for a united bid for Israel's March election, parting ways with the conservative United Arab List after a prolonged period of disagreements.
After holding talks into the late hours of Wednesday night, the three factions announced they had struck a deal to submit a list to the Central Election Committee deadline prior to the deadline on Thursday at midnight.
Representatives of Hadash, Balad and Ta'al sign agreement to run together for March election.
Ayman Odeh (Hadash) will continue to lead the slate, and will be followed by Ta'al leader Ahmad Tibi and then the newly elected Balad chairman Sami Abu Shehadeh. Prominent Hadash lawmakers Aida Touma-Sliman and Ofer Cassif, the sole Jewish MK on the list, will take fourth and sixth place respectively.
