Election Committee Rejects Bids to Disqualify Religious Zionist and Otzma Yehudit Parties
The Central Elections Committee has rejected petitions seeking to disqualify the Religious Zionist Party and Otzma Yehudit from running in the upcoming 26th Knesset elections. The decision was made by a vote of 21 to 3, with no abstentions among the committee members.
This ruling follows a series of similar decisions by the committee regarding other parties. The committee has previously rejected requests to disqualify Arab parties, including Hadash-Ta'al and the United Arab List (Ra'am), from participating in the elections. The committee also rejected a request to disqualify MK Itamar Ben-Gvir, leader of the Otzma Yehudit party, from running.
The Central Elections Committee is responsible for overseeing election processes in Israel, including the registration of parties and candidates. Its decisions can be appealed to the Supreme Court.
