The Supreme Court this evening (Sunday) reversed the decision of the Central Election Commission and ruled that Abtissam Maraana could run on the Knesset job list.

"The Supreme Court has had its say. Candidate Ibtisam Maraanah Menuhin has expressed remorse for what she wrote more than a decade ago," the Labor Party said. 

About two weeks ago, the Election Commission decided to disqualify the candidacy of Maraana, number 7 on the job list, by a majority of 16 supporters against 15 opponents.

It should be noted that the Attorney General, Avichai Mandelblit, expressed his opposition to the disqualification of Mara'ana.

In a comprehensive opinion he sent to the Election Commission in response to the disqualification demand, Mandelblit explained that Maraana "has in recent years spoken out publicly against the existence of the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state, incited racism and even incited violence and supported terrorist organizations and terrorist operatives against Israel."

The disqualification applications were submitted by the "Jewish Power" list and Maozia Segal, who was seriously injured among the Chinese farm.

At a hearing in the High Court a few days ago, the judges argued that Adv. Ben Gvir's request did not seek grounds for disqualification for racism, while Ben Gvir referred them to a section in the application stating that Maraana's disqualification was also requested on the grounds of incitement to racism It has been claimed by Maraana or her lawyers that the things attributed to her were not said. "

Advocate Ben Gvir added: "If we had replaced Mara'a with Dr. Michael Ben-Ari, Baruch Marzel or Benzi Gupstein (members of Jewish Power) - they would have had no chance. The things she says are denying the existence of the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. And constitute support for terrorism. "

Advocate Ben Gvir added: "In her response to the election committee, they claimed that 'there was an interview in which she apologized,' and the video was not attached.

I went to watch the video myself - and for the statements we made here, she did not apologize.

In an interview in which she called for the destruction of Zichron Yaacov, and she asked to correct the article.

But who did she ask to be censored?

Criticism she expressed about Arab society.

Not what she said about Zichron Yaacov. "
