Israel bans Arab parties from upcoming parliamentary election
Original: Rigged Election: Israel bans Arab parties from election - Who they are, why it matters "Israel’s Central Elections Commi
Israel's Central Elections Committee has voted to bar the country's two main Arab-majority political lists from next month's parliamentary election. The move could leave Palestinian citizens of Israel without representation in the Knesset. Critics call it rigged and anti-democratic, while discussion is focusing on who the banned parties are and what the decision means for the election's legitimacy.
Why now: A major democratic institution barring main opposition lists from an imminent election is drawing strong human rights concerns.
