Liderul unui partid palestinian s-a retras din cursa electorală din Israel. Demersul a fost inițiat de Ben Gvir

Sami Abu Shehadeh withdrew his candidacy for the upcoming elections after the Israeli Supreme Court indicated support for his disqualification. His comments on the Hamas attack were controversial, leading to criticism and a request for disqualification from a far-right minister. The court suggested he withdraw voluntarily to avoid formal disqualification, which could have serious political consequences. Despite stepping back, Abu Shehadeh remains the leader of the Balad party. The disqualification of candidates is rare in Israel, and rights organizations have criticized the court's actions as a blow to Palestinian representation. The upcoming elections are seen as crucial, with Arab parties potentially playing a decisive role.
