Israel Election Committee disqualifies four lists
The Central Election Committee in Israel decided to disqualify the joint list, the leader of the National Democratic Assembly, Sami Abu Shihad, Member of Knesset Ofer Casif, and the United List from participating in the Knesset elections. The final decision will be made by the Supreme Court. The decision was passed by a majority of votes: 18 members voted in favor of disqualification, 5 against, including votes from Arab parties, with one abstention. Following a request from Ben Gvir's party, Abu Shihad was disqualified with a majority of 31 votes, setting an unprecedented precedent. Casif's disqualification and the disqualification of the United List also received the same majority of votes. Abu Shihad responded to the disqualification, emphasizing that the decision targets an entire community and aims to exclude it from the political process. He announced his intention to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court. This move is part of a broader campaign against Arab representation in the political arena. Human rights organizations, Arab groups, and local authorities condemned these decisions, considering them illegal and based on false accusations related to support for armed struggle. They affirmed that there is no evidence supporting claims of his support for violence and underscored Abu Shihad’s commitment to democratic principles and human rights. The Supreme Court is expected to make the final decision in the coming days.
