Likud Seeks to Disqualify Arab Parties from Knesset Elections
The Likud party announced Tuesday evening that it will submit requests to disqualify the Joint List and the Ra'am party from running in the upcoming 26th Knesset elections. The party stated that these factions are unfit to be represented in the Israeli parliament.
In its announcement, Likud asserted that "there is no place in the Knesset for those who harm IDF soldiers and are unable to say that Hamas and Hezbollah are terrorist organizations." The party also criticized Benny Gantz's National Unity party chairman, Gadi Eisenkot, claiming that the Joint List and Ra'am are his "natural partners."
Likud further alleged that Eisenkot intends to form a government with Yair Golan and Avigdor Lieberman, and that such a coalition involving Arab parties could lead to a government reliant on their support. "These supporters of terror are the natural partners of Gadi Eisenkot, with whom he wants to form a government together with Yair Golan and Lieberman," the Likud statement read. "This must not be allowed to happen."
