Parties Seek to Disqualify Rivals Ahead of 2026 Elections

Translated & summarized from Haaretz by baba
The story · English

Ahead of the 2026 elections, ten requests have been filed to disqualify various parties and candidates from running. However, all of these requests are expected to be rejected.

The article touches upon several unrelated topics, including concerns in Majd al-Krum about a compound established by settlers on their land, the ongoing legal proceedings concerning the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, and a search for a missing resident of East Jerusalem near Mevaseret Zion. It also mentions a call for U.S. residents to turn off lights due to migrating birds and a review of the film "N.Z.A.".

Additionally, the digest includes commentary on the political trajectory of Avigdor Lieberman, a discussion on "Judaism and Bibiism" by Yael Friedson, and a critique of television by Yoana Gonen. It also features a piece on a former employee opening a similar establishment to a popular stand in Tel Aviv, and an analysis of Iran's response to U.S. economic sanctions by Amos Harel.

Finally, the article notes that relatives of hostages have become a sought-after asset, though not necessarily within the party that most vigorously advocated for them.
