Shin Bet Chief and Deputy Urge Reconsideration of Ban on Kahanist Party Ahead of Supreme Court Hearing
The Registrar of Political Parties in Israel has requested to reconsider its decision regarding the Kahanist party following a new intelligence opinion from the Shin Bet chief expressing reservations. This development comes ahead of a Supreme Court hearing scheduled for July 14, prompted by a petition from Yechiel Yaakov Hasson against the Registrar's ruling.
The state submitted an urgent request to cancel the hearing, citing an updated intelligence assessment received from the Shin Bet. While the core professional opinion largely remains unchanged, the Shin Bet chief and his deputy have added new comments and reservations concerning the factual basis presented in the case.
The updated positions require the Registrar to reexamine its original decision, which is central to the ongoing legal process. Due to the issue's significance and the limited time remaining, the state emphasized that the hearing cannot proceed as planned until the Registrar completes this reassessment and the court grants approval.
