The United Arab List (Hebrew: הַרְשִׁימָה הַעֲרָבִית הַמְאוּחֶדֶת, HaReshima HaAravit HaMe'uhedet; Arabic: القائمة العربية الموحدة, al-Qā'ima al-'Arabiyya al-Muwaḥḥada), commonly known in Israel by its Hebrew acronym Ra'am (Hebrew: רע"מ), is an Israeli Arab political party representing and supported by Israeli Arabs. It is not related to the original United Arab List that existed in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The party has run on a joint list with Ta'al since the 2006 elections. For the 2015 elections, United Arab List joined with Hadash, Balad, Ta'al, and the Islamic Movement to form the Joint List.
The party was established prior to the 1996 elections, and was joined in an electoral alliance by the Arab Democratic Party (which held two seats in the outgoing parliament) and the southern faction of the Islamic Movement. The party initially went under the title of Mada-Ra'am, Mada being the acronym and common name for the Arab Democratic Party. In the elections, the party won four seats. During the Knesset term, the Arab Democratic Party became a faction within the United Arab List, and its name was dropped from the party title.
