Arab leaders oppose Likud's plan to dismantle Joint and United Arab Lists
The article concerns attempts by the Israeli Likud Party to submit requests to the Central Elections Committee to disqualify Arab lists in the upcoming elections—namely the Joint List and the United Arab List—in order to prevent their participation. This move is part of political and security calculations, with Likud claiming that the positions of these lists regarding the Israeli army and groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah do not align with the Israeli security narrative. These positions are viewed as threats to the legal conditions that allow for disqualifying electoral lists, which include denial of Israel's existence as a Jewish and democratic state, incitement to racism, and support for armed struggle by organizations deemed terrorist by Israel. The request for disqualification undergoes legal procedures, including a vote by the Elections Committee and the possibility of appeals before the Supreme Court. This means that the disqualification of the lists is not a final decision; the outcome will depend on the evidence presented and the interpretation of the judicial body. This step is part of a political battle, seen as an attempt to influence election results by reducing the representation of Arab parties, whose votes play a significant role in determining electoral outcomes and government formation. This is especially relevant in light of Likud's declining strength and the readiness of right-wing parties to form governing coalitions.
