Israel's Attorney General to Rule on Ra'am Party's Election Eligibility
The deadline for Israel's Attorney General, Gali Baharav-Miara, to submit her position on the disqualification of the Ra'am party from the upcoming 26th Knesset elections is Tuesday at 2:00 PM. The Central Elections Committee has stated that no further extensions will be granted.
Ra'am's eligibility is being challenged by several parties, including the Likud and Otzma Yehudit, led by Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. The petitioners argue that Ra'am's activities violate Section 7a of the Basic Law: The Knesset, citing alleged denial of Israel's existence as a Jewish and democratic state and support for armed struggle against it. Otzma Yehudit also claims connections between Ra'am officials, the Islamic Movement, and associated organizations.
Baharav-Miara's stance is crucial as it represents the state's position to the Elections Committee. This decision is part of a broader wave of disqualification requests filed against various lists and candidates ahead of the elections.
