The Alternative (Arabic: البديل‎ al-badeel) was an electoral alliance of several socialist Palestinian groups:

• Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (al-jabhah al-dīmūqrātiyyah li-tahrīr filastīn)
• Palestinian People's Party (hizb al-sha`b al-filastīnī)
• Palestine Democratic Union (al-ittihād al-dīmūqrātī al-filastīnī)
• Independents

In the January 2006 PLC elections it came fourth with 2.92% of the popular vote. It had two deputies elected: Qais Abd al-Karim and Bassam as-Salhi. Its best vote was in the Bethlehem Governorate, and its next best was in the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate.

The alliance was dissolved in early 2007.
