A Jewish-Arab party has been forced out of Israel's elections, which critics attribute to a raised electoral threshold engineered by Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc and described as a "threshold trap" punishing political unity. Bereaved activists, including families who lost relatives on October 7, are rejecting what they call a revenge script, voicing opposition to the war in Gaza and demanding peace rather than continued fighting. Supporters say the exclusion narrows space for Arab participation in Israeli politics.
Why now: The exclusion of a joint Jewish-Arab list from the ballot touches election rules and the Gaza war debate, making it a flashpoint.
