Knesset bids farewell to Abu Shahedeh Kasif and the Unified List
The Central Election Committee in Israel has decided to disqualify Sami Abu Shhadah, head of the National Democratic Assembly Party, and Member of Parliament Awad Abu Snea from the upcoming election list, with the final decision on the disqualification to be made by the Supreme Court. This followed a request by the Ben Gvir Party to remove Abu Shhadah's candidacy, which was supported by 31 out of 35 members, while Arab parties opposed it. Additionally, the committee, with the majority of its members, backed the disqualification of Snea and the barring of the United List Party from participating, with 19 and 18 votes in favor respectively, a move considered unprecedented. Abu Shhadah responded by stating that the decision is political and racist, and announced he would appeal to the Supreme Court to defend his right and the Arab community’s political representation. He emphasized that efforts to exclude him will not deter his struggle for equality and freedom. These decisions are seen as part of a broader attempt to prevent Arab parties and candidates from running in the Knesset elections, supported by Zionist parties, aimed at undermining Arab political presence in Israel.
