Attorney General to Submit Stance on Ra'am Disqualification Petitions
Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara faces a strict deadline today to submit her stance on petitions to disqualify Ra'am from the 26th Knesset elections.
Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara is expected to submit her official stance today to the Central Elections Committee regarding petitions seeking to disqualify the Ra'am party from running in the upcoming elections. The deadline expires today at 14:00, with the committee confirming that no further extensions will be granted.
The disqualification motions were filed by Likud and Otzma Yehudit, led by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. The petitions argue that Ra'am and its leader, Mansour Abbas, violate Section 7A of the Basic Law: The Knesset, citing allegations of denying Israel as a Jewish and democratic state and supporting armed struggle against the country.
The state's legal position is a critical component of the broader wave of disqualification battles ahead of the elections for the 26th Knesset. The committee's final decision will significantly shape the political landscape as parties navigate legal challenges against rival factions.
