- | The '''Triangle''' ({{lang-he|המשולש}}, ''HaMeshulash''; {{lang-ar|المثلث}}, ''al-Muthallath''), formerly referred to as the '''Little Triangle''', is a concentration of [[Israeli Arab]] towns and villages adjacent to the [[Green Line (Israel)|Green Line]], located in the eastern [[Sharon plain]] among the [[Samaria]]n foothills; this area is located within the easternmost boundaries of both the [[Center District, Israel|Center District]] and [[Haifa District]].

- | The Triangle is further divided into the Northern Triangle (around [[Kafr Qara]], [[Ar'ara]], [[Baqa-Jatt]] and [[Umm al-Fahm]]) and the Southern Triangle (around [[Qalansawe]], [[Tayibe]], [[Kafr Qasim]], [[Tira, Israel|Tira]], [[Kfar Bara]] and [[Jaljulia]]).<ref>[http://www.caf.org.il/BaseFrg.asp?sec=424 Ofek-Nashi: Empowerment and Social Change for Israel-Arab Women through Business]</ref> Umm al-Fahm is the social, cultural and economic center for Arab residents of the region. The Triangle is a stronghold of the [[Islamic Movement in Israel]] and [[Raed Salah]], the current leader of the movement's northern faction is a former mayor of Umm al-Fahm.

- | Prior to the [[1948 Arab-Israeli War]] and Israel's establishment and sovereignty over the Kafr Qasim, Jaljulia and Kafr Bara area, it was referred to as the "Little Triangle" to differentiate it from the larger "Triangle" region between [[Jenin]], [[Tulkarm]], and [[Nablus]], renowned for extensive anti-Jewish attacks there during the [[1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine|1936–1939 Arab revolt]].

- | The region was originally designated to fall under [[Transjordan]]ian jurisdiction, but at [[1949 Armistice Agreements]], Israel insisted on having it within its side of the Green Line, due to military and strategic reasons. To achieve this, a territorial swap was negotiated, ceding the Israeli territory in the southern hills of [[Hebron]].<ref name="yuval">Yisrael Ya'akov Yuval, [http://www.am-oved.co.il/HTMLs/product.aspx?BSP=13468&C1010=15881 "Where is the Green Line"], ''Two Thousand'', Vol. 29, no. 971, 2005 {{he icon}}</ref><ref>Akiva Eldar, [http://www.haaretz.co.il/hasite/pages/ShArtPE.jhtml?itemNo=797884 "What is the Green Line"], ''[[Haaretz]]'', July 21, 2006 {{he icon}}</ref> The term was later expanded to include the entire area around [[Wadi Ara]] (the Northern Triangle of today) and the "Little" appendage quickly fell out of common use.

- | Several Israeli politicians have suggested the Triangle should be transferred to a future [[Palestinian state]] in exchange for Israel retaining sovereignty over [[Israeli settlement|settlements]] in the [[West Bank]]. In a July 2000 survey conducted by [[Kul al-Arab]] among 1,000 residents of Umm al-Fahm, 83 percent of respondents opposed the idea of transferring their city to Palestinian jurisdiction.<ref name="AlArab">Kul Al-Arab (Nazareth, Israel), July 28, 2000, cited in "Um Al-Fahm Prefers Israel", by Joseph Algazy, Ha'aretz, Aug 1, 2000.
