The Knesset election committee voted last week to remove two of the Arab parties from the February election for being anti-Israel. These “critics” of Israel were vocally telling the world that Israel was not acting in self defense in a war that was clearly to stop rocket attacks.
Israel’s Supreme Court decided that removing the parties from the elections is not acceptable. They are back in. I suspect that the one major Arab party remaining was excited that they would gain so many more votes with the disappearance of their ally/rival parties. Now it will go back to the way things were.
The election is scheduled for the second week in February.
