The Central Elections Committee’s September 23 vote to disqualify Ofer Cassif from the October 27 Knesset election, passed 19-5 on Likud petitions citing alleged negation of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state or support for armed struggle, remains subject to Supreme Court review. The attorney general has stated the evidence falls short of the statutory threshold under Basic Law: The Knesset, and the court has historically applied a strict standard, overturning a prior CEC disqualification against Cassif in 2019 and similar Arab-list cases. Hearings are scheduled for the coming week, with the Joint List slate and other candidates facing parallel reviews. Traders price the “No” outcome at 71 percent, reflecting expectations that the court will uphold precedent and permit Cassif’s candidacy.
