Israel's Supreme Court overturns ban on Arab parties
Original: Supreme Court unanimously overturns election panel’s ban on Arab parties
Israel's Supreme Court has unanimously struck down the election panel's decision to bar Arab parties from running in the election. The ruling restores the parties' right to participate in the vote and is a significant setback for politicians who sought their exclusion. The decision underscores the court's role as a check on electoral bodies and is likely to sharpen tensions over the place of Arab citizens in Israeli politics ahead of the election.
Why now: The court just issued a unanimous, politically charged ruling affecting who can run in Israel's election.
