The Joint List political party has sharply criticized the Israeli Supreme Court's decision to disqualify Sami Abu Shehadeh, chairman of the Balad party and a candidate for the Joint List, from running in the upcoming elections. The party issued a statement on Twitter, calling the court's move a "serious and shameful decision" that stains Israel's justice system and electoral process. The Joint List accused the Supreme Court of joining a policy of "supremacy in Israel," asserting that there is now "one law for Jews and another for Arabs." They further alleged that the court has become a political player in what they termed the "racist disqualification campaign" of "Kahanist" Itamar Ben-Gvir. According to the Joint List, this decision aligns with those seeking to exclude the Arab public from the political system and undermine their right to vote and be elected. The party declared that while a candidate can be disqualified, an entire public cannot, and their response will be delivered at the ballot box on October 27th.
