From Zoabi’s party praises court decision
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Joint (Arab) list praises the Supreme Court decision to let Hanin Zoabi run for Knesset.
“This isn’t the first time politicians have tried to disqualify Arab MKs because of racism and political motives. We are aware that the inflammatory atmosphere is what creates for MK Zoabi an image that is far from reality,” says a statement from the party.
The faction also calls for an end to the Central Election Committee’s authority to disqualify candidates.
Party head Ayman Odeh calls the petition to disqualify Zoabi “another way the Right tries to push out the Arab population from the Knesset and circles of influence.”
