Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit believes that the candidate in seventh place on the Knesset job list, Abtissam Mara'ana Menuhin, should not be disqualified.

The adviser's position was given in response to disqualification petitions filed by the "Jewish Power" list and Maozia Segal, who was severely injured among the Chinese farm.

Disqualification hearings in the Election Commission will be held tomorrow.



"In the Attorney General's position, in light of the Supreme Court's ruling regarding the criteria for disqualification of candidates, the limited evidence presented in the two applications for disqualification of the respondent's Knesset candidacy, most of which does not substantiate any of the three grounds for disqualification," Mandelblit said.



"(He) does not establish an evidentiary basis for accepting the rejection requests, and certainly no" critical evidential mass "of unequivocal, clear and convincing evidence has accumulated in relation to one of the at least three grounds for disqualification, which is required by the Supreme Court ruling to disqualify a candidate from Knesset elections."

The adviser referred, for example, to a post published by Ra'anana-Menuhin on Facebook and claimed that it constituted support for a terrorist organization or an armed struggle against the State of Israel.

"The main evidence brought in this matter is a 'post' posted by the respondent on her private Facebook account on November 2, 2020 with a picture of a starving Palestinian prisoner who was in administrative detention. The caption published by the respondent in the post concerns the hunger strike," the counsel said.



Mandelblit added: "Beyond being a single publication, it should be noted that according to the Supreme Court's ruling, publications concerning the affairs of prisoners and detainees, although difficult and may express a message of sympathy with prisoners who have committed serious security offenses, are not in themselves evidence. 'Unequivocally convincing and clear' in support of the armed struggle of a terrorist organization against the State of Israel ... Despite the aforesaid problematic due to the message that may arise from it, the respondent does not directly identify with the actions of the man appearing in the post For committing any offenses against the State of Israel. "



The consultant also noted that Maraana-Menuhin recalled what she had written in the posts, some of which were from 2013-2012.

In her response, the candidate stated that she "regretted the way and the way things were written," adding that "this is not an unspoken statement. No and no; the respondent appeared on News 12 on February 13 and uncompromisingly explained her position that these are past statements that do not represent her today and that "In retrospect, she would have styled things differently. The respondent stated that this was a 'poor' statement, and in any case she expressed sincere remorse for the content of the things, to anyone who was harmed by them."

Some of the statements mentioned in the request of Jewish power to disqualify Menuhin from Ra'ana were taken out of context.

Thus, for example, it was alleged that Maraana said in an 2008 interview "I would destroy Zichron Yaacov. You would return to the United States or Poland."

However, an examination of the full interview given by Maraana-Menuhin to reporter Yoav Itiel in "Geffen, HaMoshavot Magazine" shows that she actually said: "If I had initiated an apocalyptic script I would have destroyed Zichron Yaacov. Emphasize, without killing. Return to the United States or Poland."
