After the threat of exclusion: Sami Abu Shehadeh withdraws from the Knesset race

Jerusalem - Ofoq News - Sami Abu Shehadeh, head of the Al-Balad Party, decided to accept the proposal of the Israeli court judge and withdraw from running for the Knesset elections.

This decision came after Judge Yitzhak Amit indicated to Abu Shehadeh that there was a sufficient majority to disqualify him, and suggested that he withdraw from the race.

On Thursday, the Israeli Supreme Court suggested to the head of the National Democratic Rally, Sami Abu Shehadeh, to withdraw his candidacy to run in the elections, or be disqualified.

On September 23, the Election Commission approved the cancellation of lists and candidates, with the final decision resting with the Supreme Court.
