To the full article Supreme Court justices disagreed over MK Hiba Yazbak's rejection of the joint list, before approving her election (Sunday) despite the election committee decision. One of the judges who supported Yizbak's approval was Justice Anat Baron, who had her eldest son in the attack. .
Baron said, "The history of the State of Israel since its inception to the present day has admitted terrorist attacks and bloodshed. Horrifying images, of corpses lying next to exploded buses and entertainment venues that have become terrorist and murder arenas, do not fade over the years and remain seared into our hearts forever. Murder by daylight in knife stabbings, these are all part of us these days, too. " According to her, "Murder attacks have no forgiveness and no forgiveness, and no pain. There is no doubt that supporters of the murder of Jews who are Jews have no place in the Knesset."

In April 2003, Baron lost her eldest son - 22-year-old Ran, who was killed in an attack on the Mike's Place club on the Tel Aviv promenade. In the decision, the judge explained that "the temptation to rule according to emotion is great. However, we must keep the temptation to overcome the stringent criteria that only in their case there is justification for the disqualification of a candidate from running for the Knesset elections. And that is the question we are opening and deciding."
Her request for disqualification was followed by some evidence, most notably two posts she published - one of them, from 2015, with a photo of terrorist Samir Kuntar who murdered the Haran family; And another post, from 2013, with a picture of terrorist Dalal Mugrabi who carried out the attack on the coastal road. This, after the election committee voted in favor of disqualifying the MK from Balad.

In their decision, the top judges accepted the position of Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, who objected to the ruling of Izbek. They stated that due to the small amount of material evidence, the passage of time, the lack of substantiation for repeated action, and especially in the face of Yezbek's statements and statements, backed by personal affidavits and expressions of regret on her part, "no critical mass" of clear, conclusive and convincing evidence was accumulated.
In addition to Baron, the judges who supported the approval of MK Yizbak were Uzi Fogelman, Yitzhak Amit, Dafna Barak Erez and Manny Mazuz. On the opposing side, and remained in the minority, were President Esther Hayes and Judges Noam Solberg, David Mintz and Joseph Elron. The Supreme Court held that the evidence detailed in the case would be unimportant and indicate support for terrorist acts, the harshness and the harshness of the State of Israel, and four judges believed this was enough to invalidate it.
Rejecting the MK's rejection of the ruling caused a stir in the political system. Izbeck said "the disqualification requests are part of the incitement against me and against Arab society and its representatives," and her party welcomed the judges' determination. "Again, the far-right campaign against MK Izbek and the joint list has been proven Cheap propaganda aimed at delegitimizing Arab elected officials, "said the joint list. On the other hand, the right strongly opposed the Supreme decision.
