Israeli electoral authorities rejected petitions seeking to disqualify the center-left Democrats party, led by Yair Golan, from the October 27 Knesset election. The Central Elections Committee cleared the slate after hearings in late September, consistent with patterns where most disqualification bids against established Zionist parties fail committee votes and subsequent Supreme Court review. With the election date fixed by law and party lists finalized, traders assign 99.5% probability to “No” on effective exclusion. Remaining uncertainty centers on any unforeseen last-minute judicial action or procedural reversal before polls open, though historical precedent and current timeline make such shifts improbable.
