A Jewish-Arab party has been removed from Israel's electoral ballot, which critics attribute to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's raised electoral threshold, a move described as punishing political unity lists. Bereaved activists, including families of victims of the October 7 attack, are speaking out against revenge-driven politics, calling instead for peace and criticising the Gaza war.
