Supreme Court to examine 22 acquittals in Sohrabuddin Shaikh encounter case, but not Amit Shah’s discharge
The court said 92 witnesses turning hostile is a “serious matter” as it set out to examine an appeal filed by the brother of the deceased.
Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara has requested the Israeli Supreme Court to disqualify Sami Abu Shehadeh, the leader of the Arab party Balad, from participating in the upcoming elections. This request, submitted on Tuesday, is based on the grounds that Abu Shehadeh supported an armed struggle by a terrorist organization against Israel, which violates Section 7A of Basic Law: The Knesset.
The Supreme Court is currently reviewing the Central Elections Committee's decision from September 23 to disqualify Abu Shehadeh, which was based on the same grounds. The attorney-general's filing specifically addressed Abu Shehadeh's Arabic-language article published during the Hamas-led attack in October 2023, which is seen as supporting an armed struggle against Israel.
