Israel's Supreme Court on October 2, 2026, unanimously overturned the Central Elections Committee's decision to disqualify all Arab-majority parties from the October 27 general election, reinstating their eligibility to run [1][8][20]. This ruling ensures that these parties, projected to win between 12 and 14 seats in the 120-member Knesset, remain on the ballot [1].

The Supreme Court’s action maintains the potential for Arab-led parties to significantly influence the formation of Israel’s next government [1][14]. Polls suggest that neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc nor the opposition is likely to secure an outright majority of 61 seats, positioning smaller parties as potential kingmakers [1][7][14][18].

## What the records show

On September 23, 2026, Israel’s Central Elections Committee (CEC) voted to disqualify all Arab-majority parties, including the Joint List and Ra’am, from the upcoming election [1][8][19][21]. The CEC also moved to disqualify individual candidates Sami Abu Shehadeh, chairman of the Balad party, and Ofer Cassif on the same day [1]. The committee cited allegations of supporting armed struggle against Israel and rejecting Israel’s existence as a Jewish and democratic state as grounds for disqualification [1].

On October 2, 2026, the Supreme Court, however, unanimously reversed these bans on the Arab-led parties [1][8][20]. The court cleared the Joint List, Ra’am, and MK Ofer Cassif to contest the election [1]. Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara had opposed the parties' disqualification but supported the disqualification of Sami Abu Shehadeh, mainly on the grounds of supporting armed struggle [1]. Following indications from the justices that a majority favored his disqualification, Sami Abu Shehadeh subsequently withdrew his candidacy, making him the only individual removed from the ballot [1].

## The parties and their positions

The Joint List, an alliance of Hadash, Ta’al, and Balad, is led by Yousef Jabareen [1]. Jabareen stated the bloc would use “all available tools” to remove the current government and provide a “safety net” for the opposition [1]. The party's demands include a budgeted plan to combat crime in Arab communities and a pathway to Palestinian statehood [1]. Ra’am, or the United Arab List, led by Mansour Abbas, broke a historical pattern in 2021 by joining a “change government” [1]. Abbas has focused Ra'am's platform on local issues affecting Arab citizens and condemned the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack [1]. Ra’am’s candidate list for the 2026 election includes a prominent Jewish politician, Yoav Segalovitz, as its second entry [5].

Both Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his main challenger, Gadi Eisenkot of the Yashar party, have publicly stated they would not form a coalition with Arab-led parties [1]. Ultra-Orthodox parties, such as Shas and United Torah Judaism, are considered integral to Netanyahu’s political strategy and have historically been part of his right-wing coalitions [1].

## What we could not confirm

We could not confirm the specific number of seats each individual Arab party within the Joint List is projected to win [1]. We also could not confirm the exact timeline for Sami Abu Shehadeh’s withdrawal following the Supreme Court hearing [1].
