History
Agriculture and Development was an Israeli Arab organisation formed to fight the 1951 elections. Like other Israeli Arab parties at the time, it was associated with David Ben Gurion's Mapai party, as Ben Gurion was keen to include Israeli Arabs in the functioning of the state in order to prove Jews and Arabs could co-exist peacefully and productively.
In the elections, the party won only one seat, taken by its leader, Faras Hamdan. Because of its association with Mapai, the party joined the governing coalition in all four governments of the second Knesset.
In the 1955 elections the party won one seat, retained by Hamdan, and was again part of the coalition.
In the 1959 elections the party again won one seat, and joined the coalition, with Mahmud A-Nashaf replacing Hamdan as leader. However, in the 1961 elections the party did not cross the electoral threshold and subsequently disappeared.
