Right-wing politician Baruch Marzel and attorney Itamar Ben Gvir (Hadas Parush/FLASH90)
The Supreme Court rules that extremist politicians Baruch Marzel and Hanin Zoabi can run for Knesset, after the Central Elections Committee banned them from the elections.
Marzel is running in the far-fight Yachad Party, and Zoabi is from the Joint (Arab) list.
In both cases, the petitions to disqualify them, filed by the candidates’ political opponents to the CEC, claimed that the candidate in question had violated Israeli election law – Marzel for alleged anti-Arab racism and Zoabi for alleged support for Hamas and opposition to Israel’s identity as a Jewish nation-state.
