Despite the constantly deepening Soviet influence in and support for the Arab world, the Communist Party functions in Israel, nominates candidates for office, and in general enjoys more political freedom of action there than it does in many of the Arab states that oppose Israel and receive extensive Soviet assistance. Moreover, and reflecting the persistently factional nature of Israeli politics, there is not just one Communist Party but two. In Israel's current parliament--there are four Communist seats out of a total of 120.
