Hashem Mahameed (Arabic: هاشم محاميد; Template:Lang-he-n, born 18 February 1945) is a former Israeli Arab politician who served as a member of the Knesset for Hadash, Balad, United Arab List and National Unity – National Progressive Alliance between 1990 and 2003.

Biography

Born in Umm al-Fahm during the Mandate era, Mahameed studied education at the Hadassim Teachers' Seminary and Tel Aviv University, gaining a BA and an MA.

A former mayor of his home city, Mahameed first entered the Knesset on 10 January 1990 on the Hadash list as a replacement for the long-serving Meir Vilner. He was re-elected in 1992, and again in 1996, by which time Hadash were running on a joint list with Balad. On 8 March 1999, shortly before Knesset elections, Mahameed joined Balad, which left its alliance with Hadash.^[1]

However, he did not contest the elections on the Balad list, instead winning third place on the United Arab List list.^[2] On 10 December 2002 he left the United Arab List and established a new faction, National Unity – National Progressive Alliance (later renamed Progressive National Alliance). The party ran in the 2003 elections with Mahameed as its head,^[3] resulting in him losing his seat.
