"Popular Arab Bloc"@en . "1949Z"^^ . "The Popular Arab Bloc (Hebrew: \u05D4\u05D2\u05D5\u05E9 \u05D4\u05E2\u05DE\u05DE\u05D9 \u05D4\u05E2\u05E8\u05D1\u05D9\u200E, HaGush Ha'Amami HaAravi) was an Arab satellite list that contested the 1949 Israeli Constituent Assembly election. The list was launched by Mapam, just three weeks before the election, in order to mobilize Israeli Arab votes. As Mapam did not allow Arabs to be members of the party, it preferred to set up a separate list for Arabs. The election campaigning was done under the supervision of the Mapam Arab Affairs Department, led by Aharon Cohen."@en . .
