HaReshima HaMeshutefet, Hebrew: הרשימה המשותפת , or: al-Qa'imah al-Mushtarakah, Arab: القائمة المشتركة , both meaning The Joint List (often called like that) is an Israeli political cooperation of four, mainly Arab parties, established in 2015.
Its ideology depends on its members' ideology. Common objective are the interests of the Arab Israelis.
Its political leader is Ayman Odeh (Hadash).
HaReshima HaMeshutefet / al-Qa'imah al-Mushtarakah was founded in 2015 as a cooperation of Hadash (communist), Balad (social democratic, secular), Ra'am (Islamist), and Ta'al (right-wing centrist, secular). Especially the last three parties are fully Arab and anti-Zionist.

The number of seats won by the Joint List in the 23rd Knesset: 15 (Hadash: 5, Ra'am: 4, Balad: 3, and Ta'al: 3).
