In its explanatory notes, the bill states that the presence of “supporters of terrorism, armed struggle, and racism against the State of Israel in local authorities, who through their actions express support and encouragement for the murder of Jews and Israelis, as well as acts of violence and hatred.”

The proposal claims to align the legal framework for municipal elections with that of Knesset elections.

The bill mirrors another measure passed in a preliminary reading last month, which expanded the grounds for disqualifying candidates from Knesset elections. That bill is expected to disproportionately affect Arab candidates, effectively curbing their ability to run for office.

    Does Biden know he’s still president or was all his tough talk just for show? Because if it was just for show I can’t help but feel it was a shitty show.

      It was a performance for the election. They literally waited until 2 weeks before the election to even pretend to do anything.
