Jewish-Arab Brotherhood (Hebrew: אחווה יהודית-ערבית, Akhva Yehudit-Aravit) was a short-lived, one-man political party in Israel.

[edit] Background

The party was formed during the sixth Knesset after the breakup of the Israeli Arab party, Cooperation and Development, which had formed less than six months previously as a merger of Cooperation and Brotherhood and Progress and Development.

Former Progress and Development MK Elias Nahale returned to his original party, but then had a change of heart and created the Jewish-Arab Brotherhood. Before the 1969 elections Nahale merged the party into Cooperation and Brotherhood, thus effectively swapping parties with Jabr Moade, who had begun the session as a member of Participation and Brotherhood, then left to set up the Druze Party before joining Progress and Development.
