Religious Zionist chairman Bezalel Smotrich and his party are expected to appeal to the Central Election Commission with a demand to disqualify Ra'am from running for the Knesset.
As you know, Smotrich already fought in the previous elections and single-handedly thwarted a right-wing government relying on Ra'am, in the background of negotiations by Likud officials with Mansor Abbas in the previous elections, which the Likud denies.
"After a year of the Balhot government, which was dependent on the terrorist supporters of the Islamic Movement Party, the time has come to put an end to the farce," Smotrich told Israel Hayom and added, "RAM has proven in the past year with countless statements and actions that its loyalty is not to Israel as a Jewish and democratic state, but to the worst of our enemies.
A country that wants to live cannot allow a sister party of Hamas a seat in its parliament.
In the past year, we led the campaign against the folly of establishing a government with supporters of terrorism, and we will continue and fight for the State of Israel and for its Jewish and democratic identity."
will be disqualified or run.

The interesting question is whether the Likud, which abstained from voting on the disqualification of RAM in the previous election cycle, will this time support Smotrich's disqualification request, and also whether Shaked, who is still sitting with RAM in the government and stated that she is returning to the right-wing bloc, will support such a request.
The one who is still promoting the request to disqualify Ra'am and plans to put pressure on all the right-wing parties to support the request is the organization "Ak Akan". According to them, the research department of the organization examined the activities of the branches of the Islamic movement, of which Ra'am is its political arm, and The basis of the findings and the connection between Ra'am and the Islamic movement, they demand that they be disqualified from running for the Knesset. In the disqualification request that they prepared in Ad Kaan, it is claimed that the Islamic movement transfers aid funds through the association "Aid 48" in the amount of tens of millions of shekels per year, to countries defined by law as enemies. According to them, from an official answer they received in the last few days in "Ak Kaan" from the Ministry of Finance, it appears that this was done without the permission of the Ministry of Finance as required by law.
Donations in the millions
Also, Ad Kaan claims that the "Al-Aqsa" association, which operates on behalf of the Islamic movement, received donations from foreign Islamic foundations in the years 2007-2019 totaling approximately NIS 12.5 million.
According to the sources at Ad Kaan, four of the funds that contribute to Al-Aqsa were declared in Israel as an "impermissible association" by order of the Minister of Defense, due to the fact that they are funds that raise funds around the world to finance Hamas.

Gilad Ach, CEO of "Ad Kaan" said: "There is no place in the Knesset for representatives of a movement that operates in an institutionalized manner to aid declared terrorist elements and for the benefit of enemy countries in violation of the law.
She and the party should be disqualified from running for the 25th Knesset, despite the beautiful face they are marketing to the Israeli public.
We call on the general public to join the request that we submit."
