High Court rejects bid to bar Otzma Yehudit from election
Original: High Court of Justice rejects bid to bar Otzma Yehudit from running in election
Israel's High Court of Justice has rejected a petition seeking to bar the far-right Otzma Yehudit party from running in the upcoming election. The ruling allows the party, led by Itamar Ben-Gvir, to appear on the ballot. The decision touches on recurring debates in Israel over the limits of disqualifying parties and candidates from elections, a power the court exercises only in rare cases.
Why now: The court ruling clears a controversial far-right party to compete in an upcoming national election, a flashpoint in Israeli politics.
