- Justice Stein believes Balad chairman's article shows terror support.
- The statement was made during a Supreme Court hearing.
- The hearing addressed Abu Shehadeh's election disqualification.
- Abu Shehadeh's lawyer argued against the terror support claim.
Supreme Court Justice Alex Stein stated during a hearing that the chairman of the Balad party, Sami Abu Shehadeh, demonstrated support for terrorism in an article he wrote on October 8th. Stein asserted that reading Abu Shehadeh's article "in real time and spontaneously" reveals this support, dismissing later explanations as "cheap talk."
The hearing concerned the disqualification of Abu Shehadeh from running in the 26th Knesset elections. Abu Shehadeh's representative, attorney Hassan Jabareen, argued that the statement describing October 7th as a "historic and strategic event" does not constitute support for armed struggle.
