The strong trader consensus that Ra'am will not face an effective ban reflects the Central Elections Committee's September 23 disqualification vote being viewed as preliminary and likely to be reversed. The panel approved petitions from Likud and others citing grounds under Basic Law: The Knesset, despite the Attorney General's assessment that evidence fell short of the legal threshold. Appeals by Ra'am and the Joint List are scheduled for Supreme Court review next week, and historical precedent shows most party-list disqualifications overturned by the High Court of Justice. An October 27 Knesset election timeline leaves limited room for late shifts, though an unexpected court upholding of the ban or procedural delays could still alter participation.
