The Central Elections Committee rejected multiple petitions to disqualify Otzma Yehudit under Section 7A of the Basic Law: The Knesset, citing insufficient evidence of denying Israel’s Jewish and democratic character or inciting racism, with votes such as 19-10 against disqualification. Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara opposed the moves, and the party’s coalition-aligned majority on the committee reinforced clearance for the October 27 election. Arab lists faced parallel exclusions and appeals, but historical Supreme Court patterns show a high evidentiary threshold for bans, often resulting in reversals. Petitions from the Democrats and Zulat Institute now reach the High Court for mandatory review. Trader consensus reflects these procedural and legal barriers, though an unexpected court ruling upholding disqualification remains a narrow pathway to alter the outcome.
