What happened
Likud filed a petition seeking the disqualification of Ofer Cassif from the 26th Knesset elections. The Central Elections Committee accepted the petition, which was based on the grounds of 'support for an armed struggle by an enemy state or terrorist organization against the State of Israel.' The committee voted on the matter, with nineteen members voting in favor, five against, and two abstaining. The decision now moves to the High Court of Justice for final review.
Why it matters
The petition challenges Cassif's eligibility to run on the Joint List, which includes Hadash. The process is part of a broader review of petitions targeting various candidates ahead of the 26th Knesset elections. The High Court of Justice will rule on the validity of the disqualification request.
The proceedings are part of a larger challenge to a recent ruling by the High Court of Justice concerning political practice.
