Youssef Atauna

Youssef Atauna (, ; born 26 October 1966) is an Israeli Arab politician who served as a member of the Knesset for Hadash. He previously served as a member for the Joint List between October 2017 and February 2018.

Biography A member of Hadash, prior to the 2015 Knesset elections the four main Arab parties formed the Joint List alliance. Atauna was placed seventeenth on the alliance's list, missing out on a seat as the Joint List won 13 seats.

Prior to the election the Joint List parties had made a rotation agreement, which required the last Ta'al MK to give up their seat for a United Arab List candidate and the final Hadash MK to give up their seat for the next Balad candidate. Atauna resigned from his Knesset seat in June 2025 and was replaced by Samir Bin Said as part of a rotation agreement between Hadash and Ta'al.

Atauna has two wives, despite polygamy being illegal in Israel, and three children.
