- Israel clears Jewish supremacist party to contest election
Israel allows a far-right Kahanist party to contest October’s election after Shin Bet reversed its initial decision to bar it. The party, led by Baruch Marzel and Michael Ben Ari, is linked to the ideology of Rabbi Meir Kahane’s Kach movement, which was designated a terrorist organization. Marzel and Ben Ari concealed their involvement by omitting their names from the party’s founding list.
