World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported50m ago
Israel's Supreme Court has overturned decisions by the Central Elections Committee, allowing Knesset member Ofer Cassif, Ra'am, and the Joint List to participate in the 26th Knesset election. The court's ruling followed appeals heard on Thursday regarding the disqualification of these candidates and electoral lists.
During the legal proceedings, Sami Abu Shehadeh withdrew his candidacy. The Supreme Court's intervention reversed the prior electoral bans, clearing the way for the previously barred Arab electoral lists and individuals to contest the upcoming parliamentary election.
