Israel Supreme Court reviews Arab candidate disqualifications
The article discusses the session of the Israeli Supreme Court that examined appeals to block Arab lists and candidates from the Israeli parliamentary elections. The court decided to hear the appeals amid widespread protests from Arab parliamentarians and their supporters outside the court building. Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir participated as part of a far-right Israeli group; he waved the Israeli flag and shouted against Arab participation in the elections. The election committee had decided to disqualify two Arab lists, a move condemned by the Rights Center for being racist, emphasizing that the disqualification decision was based on insufficient claims and conflicted with legal precedents, especially since some of the evidence was manipulated.Polls forecast that Arab MPs will secure 12 out of a total of 120 seats in the Knesset, which will hold new elections on October 27. The disqualification decision has faced widespread criticism, with many viewing it as an act of racist behavior.
