On September 23, 2026, the Israeli Central Election Committee decided to disqualify Arab lists, including the Joint List and the Unified List, as well as certain candidates such as Ofer Kasif and Sami Abu Shahadeh, based on allegations related to incitement and support for terrorism. However, the Supreme Court overturned the disqualification in many cases, including the annulment of the disqualification of the two lists. This occurred amidst legal and political controversy over the criteria for disqualification, especially after the Court determined that evidence must be clear and decisive to prevent the creation of a new legal precedent. In the case of Abu Shahadeh, the request was based on an article published after the October 7 attack, and the Court initially requested his disqualification. However, he voluntarily withdrew his candidacy after the judges implied that it was preferable to avoid issuing a ruling that could set a precedent. With his withdrawal, no final judicial judgment was issued, leaving the issue of Arab political participation in Israel open to debate regarding the impact of disqualification decisions on political representation and future legal options.
