Details
- It won 50 percent of the Palestinian vote when it first ran in the 1977 Knesset elections; in 1984 it took 33 percent against the rival Progressive List for Peace’s 18 percent, on virtually identical positions — a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza alongside Israel and mutual Israel-PLO recognition (PDF p.278).
