Progressive National Alliance

The Progressive National Alliance (Template:Langx, Brit Leumit Mitkademet), originally known as National Unity – National Progressive Alliance (Template:Langx, Ahdhut Leumit – HaBrit HaLeumit HaMitkademet), was a small Arab political party in Israel in the early 21st century.
Background
The party was formed in December 2002 when Hashem Mahameed left Hadash.[1] He turned the faction into a full political party in order to participate in the 2003 elections, renaming it the Progressive National Alliance. However, the party won only 20,571 votes (0.7%), less than half the number needed to cross the 1.5% electoral threshold. Amongst Israeli Arabs the party won 6.3% of the vote,[2] almost all of them in Mahmeed's hometown, Umm al-Fahm.[3]
Since running in the municipal elections in Umm al-Fahm in October 2003 as part of an alliance with Hadash, Balad and the Sons of the Village Movement,[4] the party has not been active in politics since and appears to have disbanded. Mahmeed was a contender for a place on Hadash's list in the 2006 elections, but was not on the final slate.
