Election Committee Rejects Bids to Disqualify Religious Zionist and Otzma Yehudit Parties
Israel's Central Elections Committee, on Thursday, continued its deliberations for a second day to review requests to disqualify parties and candidates from running in the upcoming 26th Knesset elections. Presiding over the sessions was Judge Noam Sohlberg.
The committee discussed petitions to exclude the Otzma Yehudit, Religious Zionism, "Zehut," and the Democrats parties from the elections. Ultimately, the committee rejected a request to disqualify Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and the Otzma Yehudit party, preventing their exclusion from the elections by a vote of 19 to 10.
Additionally, the committee rejected petitions seeking to disqualify the "Religious Zionism" and "Zehut" lists from participating in the 26th Knesset elections. The article does not specify the vote counts for these latter decisions, nor does it detail the reasons for the initial disqualification requests.
