The Central Election Committee is planning to hear petitions to disqualify candidates and parties from running in the upcoming general elections. The committee will be convening on Wednesday, 6 Teves 5773.
First on the list is a petition to disqualify the Otzma Yisrael Party as well as four petitions against the Balad party. There is also a request to disqualify MK Zuabi, who took part in the Mavi Marmara terrorist flotilla.
If the committee agrees to disqualify any of the persons/parties, the request will then be heard by a nine-justice panel of the High Court of Justice.
Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein on Monday afternoon 4 Teves announced he opposes disqualifying any candidate or party.

Of course Zuabi should be DISqualified from serving in the government. Except in Israel that never happens, must do the make-believe fantasy of Democracy.
There is also a petition to disqualify Shas and Agudah! Believe it or moot.
