Israel Supreme Court overturns ban on Arab lists in Knesset election

Israel's Supreme Court unanimously overturned a ban on two Arab political lists, the Joint List and United Arab List, allowing them to compete in the October 27 election. The court also cleared Ofer Cassif to run. This reverses an earlier decision by the Central Elections Committee and removes a potential flashpoint ahead of the vote.

Israeli Supreme Court Upholds Disqualification of Balad Leader, Overturns Other Arab Party Bans

This indicates a selective but firm judicial stance on Arab political eligibility.
