Yisrael Beiteinu to Seek Disqualification of Arab Parties, MK

The Yisrael Beiteinu party announced that its representatives on the Central Elections Committee will vote to disqualify the Joint List, Ra'am, MK Ofer Cassif, and the head of Balad, Sami Abu Shehadeh. The party stated that any "Zionist government" formed after the upcoming elections must prioritize the elimination of Hamas as a central security objective.

"Any party that opposes this has no place in the Knesset in Israel," Yisrael Beiteinu declared in its statement. The party's stance indicates a clear ideological opposition to parties that do not align with its definition of a Zionist state and its security priorities.
