A member of Ta'al,[2] Younis was placed 18th on the Joint List (an alliance of the four main Arab parties) prior to the 2015 Knesset elections.[3] Although the party won only 13 seats, Younis entered the Knesset on 9 February 2018 as a replacement for Youssef Atauna as part of a rotation agreement within the alliance.[4][5] However, in August 2018 he resigned from the Knesset and was replaced by Niven Abu Rahmoun as part of the rotation agreement.[6]
