Likud Seeks to Disqualify Arab Parties from Knesset Elections
The Likud party has announced its submission of requests to disqualify the Joint List and the United Arab List from participating in the upcoming Knesset elections. In a statement, Likud declared that the Israeli Knesset has no place for those who harm IDF soldiers or refuse to label Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorist organizations.
This move by Likud follows a similar request made days earlier by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. Ben-Gvir submitted a petition to the Central Elections Committee, headed by Judge Noam Solberg, seeking to disqualify the United Arab List and prevent its leader, Dr. Mansour Abbas, from running.
Amir Makhoul, a researcher at the Tקדm Center for Policy, discussed these developments on Hala TV. He noted the Likud's stated reasons for the disqualification requests, emphasizing the party's stance against those perceived as detrimental to the Israeli military and their reluctance to condemn specific militant groups.
