- MK Ofer Cassif also cleared to compete in elections.
- Court overturned Central Elections Committee decision.
- Judges condemned Cassif's 'outrageous statements and actions'.
Israel's Supreme Court announced Friday that MK Ofer Cassif, along with the Ra'am and Joint List parties, will be permitted to run in the upcoming Knesset elections. The decision overturns a previous ruling by the Central Elections Committee. The judges unanimously voted to cancel the Elections Committee's decision regarding Ra'am and the Joint List. However, Judges Minc and Stein were in the minority concerning Ofer Cassif. The court noted that "all the judges on the panel distance themselves from Cassif's outrageous statements and actions, which provoke disgust."
President of the Supreme Court Yitzhak Amit was part of the panel that made the ruling.
