The Central Election Committee will discuss whether to disqualify the two candidates on Thursday. But Weinstein is expected to send the committee his own opinion on the matter before deliberations begin.

Likud nd other right wing parties support a disqualification of Zoabui, while the Zionist Camp led by Isaac Herzog said it will follow any decision the committee might come by.
