The judges who supported MK Yizbak's approval were Uzi Fogelman, Yitzhak Amit, Dafna Barak Erez, Manny Mazuz and Anat Baron. On the opposition, and remained in the minority, were animals and judges Noam Solberg, David Mintz and Joseph Elron. Minority judges, including the Supreme Court President , The evidence detailed in the case will be backed up by both sides and show support for terrorist acts, the harsh and harrowing actions taken against the State of Israel, and four judges believe this is enough to invalidate it.

As for the explanations and clarifications given by Yezbak, the minority judges believed that the clarifications made regarding the main evidence presented were no less severe and disturbing than the publications themselves. "Common sense, basic ethics, law and justice are all teachers: those who cheer Samir Kuntar, Dalal Mograbi, such murderers and the like, will not recognize his place in the Knesset," wrote Justice Solver, who supported the disqualification.

The judges also unanimously approved the reversal of the unanimous decision of the Election Commission - and endorsed Larissa Trimbobler's "Justice of Justice" party, the wife of Yigal Amir who murdered Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.

In response to the decision, Yizbak said "the disqualification applications are part of the incitement circus against me and against Arab society and its representatives." She said, "This was not a request for personal disqualification, but a move that is an integral part of the ongoing persecution and delegitimization. The Election Commission's decision to disqualify me was a political decision by a political committee in which the parties competed in a rally against me and members of the joint list."

She added: "We will continue to work towards ending the occupation and lifting the blockade and for just and peaceful citizenship and for equal and just citizenship. I continue to work fully on the joint list campaign to raise the percentage of voting and representation of Arab society in the Knesset."

On the joint list in his thigh, right attack: "low point"

On the joint list, they welcomed the Supreme Court decision. "Again, it has been proven that the far-right campaign against MK will backfire and the joint list is cheap propaganda aimed at delegitimizing Arab elected officials. Anyone dragged after Kahanis in support of Knesset disqualification should be embarrassed by the court's decision, "the party said.

Balad chairman - Yizbak's party, MK Matans Shahada, said Yizbak's rejection was supported by all parties except Meretz. He said, "The Israeli political system is galloping to the right, and with dangerous ease violates the civil and political rights of the Arab public and its representatives. The decision of the Central Election Commission was not a defensive democracy, but a populist and anti-democratic rampage. "

On the other hand, the right strongly attacked the decision. Israeli House Speaker MK Oded Forer said: "It is impossible that anyone who has denied Israel's existence as a Jewish and democratic state, who repeatedly expressed support for the most heinous terrorists, will continue to receive a salary from the State of Israel."

On her right, they said: "The High Court judges have again proved tonight that they have long been not engaged in justice but in liberal left-wing politics and agenda. Yizbak's training which supported humiliating killers and would not even apologize or repudiate it is a new low point of the Supreme Court and public confidence in it. "

The Likud took advantage of the decision to attack Blue and White. "Shame. Gantz has no government without the joint list. After the decision today, anyone who wants Hiba will fight the opposition and not the government - must vote only for the Likud." MK Ophir Katz (Likud), one of Yezbek's disqualification petitioners, said: "Shame that the bereaved families need to see that the murderers of their loved ones are sitting in the legislature. I called Danny Haran's brother, Ronnie Kern, apologized to him and promised him that I would work for people like her not to be in the Knesset. In light of the Supreme Court's repeated decisions to leave terror supporters in the Knesset, there is no escape from legislative amendments - and thus I will act in the next Knesset. "

In Jewish power, they said that "the High Court once again crosses a red line and through poor legal peppering has trained a fan of Jewish child killers. High Court judges cannot look into the eyes of the Haran family - they have in fact expressed approval for those who praise the killers of their loved ones. "
