Sami Abu Shehadeh, the head of the National Democratic Alliance party, has officially announced his withdrawal from the party's list and his decision not to run in the upcoming Knesset elections. The announcement was made before the Central Elections Committee. This move came after the Supreme Court considered a petition to disqualify his candidacy. During the court session, Supreme Court President Isaac Amit advised Abu Shehadeh to withdraw his candidacy, which would have prevented the judges from issuing a ruling on the matter.
