Herman PoppleberryHOST
The Joint List called it an attempt to steal the election and deny the voices of more than a million citizens.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
Mansour Abbas called it political, illegitimate, and anti-democratic.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
Ben-Gavir, for his part, called the effort to disqualify his own party a political assassination.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
Everyone's being assassinated.
Harrison SmithHOST
If this democracy is to survive, we're going to have to ban every party except for ours.
Harrison SmithHOST
Israel's Central Election Committee voted Wednesday to disqualify Mansur Abbas's United Arab List slate from running in the election, as well as the joint list, which consists of the parties of Hadash, Tal, and Balad.
Harrison SmithHOST
The vote came after left-wing Knesset member Ofer Kasif of the Arab-Jewish Hadash Party and Balad chairman Sami Abu Shehadeh were banned earlier the same day.
Harrison SmithHOST
These decisions may be reversed by appeal to the High Court of Justice.

Jonathan FreedlandHOST
I think there are strong arguments in both, and the fact that, uh, the Democrats were torn over it is revealing, I think.
Yonit LeviHOST
As we stand now, when you said, uh, we said Netanyahu is, you know, a best campaigner in this country for sure, perhaps beyond, uh, his campaign, the Likud campaign keeps banging on telling the Israeli public, uh, Eisenkot does not have a government without, uh, the Arab parties and specifically Ra'am, head by, uh, led by Mansour Abbas.
Yonit LeviHOST
And Eisenkot's saying really in every way possible, "I'm not going to do that.
Yonit LeviHOST
We're going to have a coalition otherwise." Uh, look, anyone looking at this from the outside might be shocked at the way that this is, is, is happening.
David HorovitzGUEST
When after the 2021 elections, when the results were not good for Netanyahu, attempted to retain power essentially by building a coalition that would have included Rahm.
David HorovitzGUEST
Now, the Rahm leader says that's the case, but more relevantly, perhaps, if you mistrust Mr. Mansour Abbas.
David HorovitzGUEST
But Salah Smotrich said they didn't do that deal because I stopped them.
David HorovitzGUEST
I wouldn't let us build a coalition dependent on Rahm.
Benyamin MoalemGUEST
And then you've got Ra'am, Ram is really a right-wing party, if you were to look at the right-left divide through the lens of the United States or through most European countries, whereas in Israel, it's usually the Arab-Israeli conflict is how you view the right-left divide.
Benyamin MoalemGUEST
It's a very conservative, it's an Islamist party until this election where the leader, Mansour Abbas, has decided to kind of break away from the religious roots and become a little bit more, it's still a traditionalist party.
Benyamin MoalemGUEST
And he, for the first time, joined the 2021 Bennett-Lefty change government.
Benyamin MoalemGUEST
He is interested in joining the government and trying to effectuate change.
Benyamin MoalemGUEST
And Bennett has all his own guys who he wants to list.
Benyamin MoalemGUEST
So he wasn't going to have a job in the next Finesse set.
Benyamin MoalemGUEST
And for Mansour Abbas, this is a win-win because perhaps he can get some Jewish votes.
Benyamin MoalemGUEST
And he also has something to bring to the table if the opposition bloc wins and say, hey, this is going to be controversial because some parties have said that we're not going to sit with Mansour Abbas regardless.
Shanna FuldHOST
And I suppose due to the hostilities from Mayor Mamdani, maybe Netanyahu's team thought twice.
Shanna FuldHOST
On Wednesday, so that's just yesterday, the Central Elections Committee voted 18 to 5 to disqualify Mansour Abbas and his Ra'am party from running in the upcoming elections, handing Netanyahu a little pre-election victory.
Shanna FuldHOST
Now, we have almost exactly a month until the election, which is going to roll out on October 27th.
Shanna FuldHOST
Ra'am can appeal to the Supreme Court, which is expected to hear disqualification cases next week, and the ban is likely to be struck down.
Shanna FuldHOST
The attorney general opposed barring Raham and the joint list, saying that the evidence didn't meet the legal criteria for banning a party.
Shanna FuldHOST
You need to hit a lot of criteria to get a party out of the running.
Shanna FuldHOST
Mansour Abbas called the decision political and anti-democratic and says Raham, for which he's the head, will fight it in the high court as they have done and succeeded in the past.
Shanna FuldHOST
In Gaza,
Donniel HartmanHOST
But right now, this discussion of the deadlock and what do we do about it and beginning to think about it is now the center of Israeli conversation.
Donniel HartmanHOST
While the Arab, the Mansour Abbas, that's not there.
Yehuda KurtzerHOST
We haven't even brought that up.
Yehuda KurtzerHOST
That's a whole other conversation.
Michael OrenGUEST
If you have a Jewish Arab party that is not a communist party, we've had Jews running on Arab lists before, but they've been communists, anti-Zionist.
Michael OrenGUEST
And whether Mansour Abbas will say, I accept Israel as the Jewish state and I'll swear allegiance to the Jewish state, even though I'm an Arab, that's going to be a huge issue.
Michael OrenGUEST
But we cannot proceed on this conversation without remarking
Aviva KlompasHOST
that
