Arab satellite lists
The Arab satellite lists (Hebrew: מפלגות הלוויין הערביות), Arab lists (Arabic: القوائم العربية) or minority lists, were satellite parties in Israel formed for the purposes of gaining electoral support from the Arab population for Mapai (and later the Labor Party), and other Zionist parties between 1948 and the mid-1970s. Between the 1949 elections and the 1969 elections, most of the Israeli Arab vote was divided between the communist parties Maki and Rakah and the Arab satellite lists.
