- Joint List vows mass voter turnout after candidate disqualification.
- Supreme Court President proposed candidate withdraw, leading to de facto disqualification.
- The alliance calls the disqualification politically motivated and legally unjustified.
- The election is scheduled for October 27.
The Joint List political alliance has responded to a proposal by Supreme Court President Yitzhak Amit suggesting that Balad Chairman Sami Abu Shehadeh withdraw his candidacy. The alliance stated that the Supreme Court has effectively decided to disqualify Abu Shehadeh, even before issuing its formal ruling. The Joint List characterized this decision as a de facto disqualification resulting from a campaign of incitement and political persecution led by the "fascist and Kahanist right," joined by leaders of "Zionist opposition parties."
The alliance asserted that there is no legal justification for Abu Shehadeh's disqualification. In response to these attempts to exclude them and silence their voices, the Joint List declared that their answer will be a massive turnout at the polls on October 27.
