'''Progress and Development''' ({{lang-langx|he|קידמה ופיתוח}}, ''Kidma VePituah''; {{lang-langx|ar|تقدم وتطور}}) was an [[Arab satellite list]] in [[Israel]].

==History==

Progress and Development was established in 1959,<ref>[http://en.idi.org.il/tools-and-data/israeli-elections-and-parties/political-parties/progress-and-development/ Progress and Development] Israel Democracy Institute</ref> drawing its support from the [[Galilee]] area.<ref>{{cite book |author=Ervin Birnbaum |year=1970 |title=The Politics of Compromise: State and Religion in Israel |publisher=Fairleigh Dickinson University Press |page=[https://archive.org/details/politicsofcompro0000birn/page/59 59] |isbn=978-0838675670 |url=https://archive.org/details/politicsofcompro0000birn/page/59 }}</ref> Like other Israeli Arab parties at the time, it was associated with [[David Ben-Gurion]]'s [[Mapai]] party, as Ben-Gurion was keen to include Israeli Arabs in the functioning of the state in order to prove [[Jew]]s and [[Arab]]s could co-exist peacefully and productively.

In the [[1959 Israeli legislative election|1959 elections]], the party won 1.3% of the votes and two seats, making it the most popular Israeli Arab party in the [[Knesset]]. Its seats were taken by [[Ahmed A-Dahar]] and [[Elias Nakhleh]]. Because of its association with [[Mapai]], the party joined the governing coalition.

Line 59 ⟶ 28:

In the [[1965 Israeli legislative election|1965 elections]] the party increased its share of the vote again, to 1.9%, overtaking Cooperation and Brotherhood to regain its place as the most popular Israeli Arab party. It joined [[Levi Eshkol]]'s coalition government, and A-Dahar was replaced by [[Seif-El-Din El-Zubi]], previously an MK for the [[Democratic List of Nazareth]] (in the [[1949 Israeli legislative election|first Knesset]]) and the [[Democratic List for Israeli Arabs]] (in the [[1951 Israeli legislative election|second]] and [[1955 Israeli legislative election|third Knessets]]). During the Knesset session the party briefly merged with Cooperation and Brotherhood to form [[Cooperation and Development]], though the union split up soon after its formation. In October 1968 Nakhleh broke away from the party to form the [[Jewish–Arab Brotherhood]],<ref>[https://www.knesset.gov.il/faction/eng/FactionHistoryAll_eng.asp Mergers and Splits Among Parliamentary Groups] Knesset website</ref> though he was elected to the next Knesset as a member of Cooperation and Brotherhood.

The [[1969 Israeli legislative election|1969 elections]] saw a further increase in popularity to 2.1% of the vote, though it still won only two seats. [[Jabr MoadeMuadi]] (a former Democratic List for Israeli Arabs MK who had broken away from Cooperation and Brotherhood to form the [[Druze Party]] after Cooperation and Development had broken up, effectively swapping parties with Nahale) took the second seat, and the party was included in [[Golda Meir]]'s coalition government. MoadeMuadi was appointed Deputy Minister of Communications in October 1971, making him only the second Israeli Arab to join the [[cabinet of Israel|cabinet]].

In the [[1973 Israeli legislative election|1973 elections]] the party won only 1.4% of the vote, though it retained its two seats. Although it was excluded from Golda Meir's government despite still being aligned with the [[Labor Party (Israel)|Labour Party]], after she resigned and [[Yitzhak Rabin]] formed the [[Seventeenth government of Israel|17th government]], the party was invited back into the governing coalition and MoadeMuadi regained his deputy ministerial position.

During the Knesset session the party briefly became part of the [[Alignment (political party)|Alignment]] before merging with the [[Arab List for Bedouins and Villagers]] to form the [[United Arab List (1977)|United Arab List]].<ref>[https://www.knesset.gov.il/faction/eng/FactionPage_eng.asp?PG=63 Kidma Vepituah] Knesset website</ref>
