Arab Democratic Party (Israel)
The Arab Democratic Party - Hebrew מפלגה דמוקרטית ערבית ( Miflaga Demokratit Aravit ), Arabic ألحزب الديمقراطي العربي (al- Hizb al - Dimuqrati al -Arabi ) - is a party in Israel, where she primarily under its acronym Mada (Hebrew מד"ע ) is known.
It was founded during the 11th Knesset by Abdul Wahab Darawshe, an MP and member of the HaMa'arach the Labour Party on 15 February 1988 in protest against the attitude of his party to the first intifada as a parliamentary group.
Their political objectives include the recognition of the PLO, the creation of a separate Palestinian state and the equality of Arab Israelis in Israel.
Between 1996 and 2012, the Mada was an autonomous part of the United Arab List (Hebrew רשימה ערבית מאוחדת ( Reshima Aravit Meuhedet ) / Arabic ألقائمة العربية الموحدة (al- ʿ Arabiyya al - Qā'ima al - Muwahhada, DMG al -qa ʾ al - ʿ ima al - Arabiya muwaḥḥada ) Acronym Ra'am ) until her deputy Talab El -Sana, the parliamentary faction left in December 2012. In the elections to the 19th Knesset in early 2013 El -Sana ran again but on a common list, but he did not succeed, to be recovered in the Knesset, as he had the fifth list place, but the Ra'am received only four seats.
