据以色列媒体报道,以色列最高法院推翻了选举小组本月对阿拉伯政党参加议会选举的禁令,称该决定不符合排除阿拉伯政党的法律要求。
Israel’s top court has overturned an election panel’s ban on Arab parties contesting parliamentary elections this month, saying the decision had not met the legal requirements for excluding them, according to Israeli media.
最高法院法官周五一致裁定,撤销中央选举委员会对该国两个主要阿拉伯人占多数的政治名单-- Ra ' am(也称为阿拉伯联合名单)和联合名单(Hadash、Ta ' al和Balad的联盟)的取消资格。
The Supreme Court justices ruled unanimously on Friday to undo the Central Elections Committee’s disqualification of the country’s two main Arab-majority political lists – Ra’am, also called the United Arab List, and the Joint List, which is an alliance of Hadash, Ta’al and Balad.
批评者在10月27日以色列议会投票前指责该委员会采取双重标准,这一决定使占人口约20%的以色列巴勒斯坦公民留在了竞选中。
The decision keeps Palestinian citizens of Israel, who make up about 20 percent of the population, in the race after critics accused the committee of double standards ahead of the October 27 Knesset vote.
据媒体报道,法院还以7比2的投票结果恢复了奥弗·卡西夫(Ofer Cassif)的职务,他是以色列议会阿拉伯犹太哈达什党的现任犹太议员,也是以色列对待巴勒斯坦人的直言不讳的批评者。
The court also voted 7-2 to reinstate Ofer Cassif, a sitting Jewish member of the Knesset from the Arab-Jewish Hadash party and an outspoken critic of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, media reports said.
两名持不同意见的法官表示,卡西夫支持“反对以色列国的武装斗争”,这是他被取消资格的理由。
The two dissenting justices said Cassif backs “armed struggle against the state of Israel”, which is grounds for his disqualification.
9月,选举委员会投票取消了联合名单和拉姆的政党资格,以及卡西夫和巴拉德党领袖萨米·阿布·谢哈德的个人资格。
In September, the elections committee voted to disqualify the Joint List and Ra’am as parties, as well as Cassif and Sami Abu Shehadeh, head of the Balad party, as individuals.
巴拉德党领导人萨米·阿布·谢哈德(Sami Abu Shehadeh)于2026年10月1日在耶路撒冷出席最高法院举行的听证会[法新社]巴拉德党领导人退出最高法院在投票禁止候选人时几乎总是否决该委员会。
Sami Abu Shehadeh, leader of the Balad party, attends a hearing at the Supreme Court in Jerusalem on October 1, 2026 [AFP] Balad leader withdraws The Supreme Court has nearly always overruled the committee when it votes to ban candidates.
然而,在周四的听证会上,最高法院院长伊扎克·阿米特告诉阿布·谢哈德,九名法官中的大多数人赞成取消他的选举资格。
However, at a hearing on Thursday, Supreme Court President Yitzhak Amit told Abu Shehadeh that a majority of the nine justices favoured disqualifying him from the election.
据以色列公共广播公司报道,他们要求他在周五之前退出,并表示如果他不退出,他将被取消资格。阿布·谢哈德此后退出选举。
They gave him until Friday to withdraw, saying that if he did not, he would be disqualified, according to the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation. Abu Shehadeh withdrew from the election after that.
国家安全部长伊塔马尔·本·格维尔是总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡的极右翼盟友,他因2023年10月7日哈马斯袭击后撰写的一篇文章而带头禁止内塔尼亚胡。阿布·谢哈德在文章中将这次袭击描述为“一个重要的历史事件”,但否认支持这一事件。
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, a far-right ally of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, led the push to bar him over an article written after the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023. Abu Shehadeh described the attack as “an important historical event” in the piece, but denies supporting it.
巴拉德在一份声明中表示,法院下令罢免而不是自愿罢免,将“对该国的政治和议会生活产生严重后果”,因为这将为罢免阿拉伯候选人树立先例。
Balad said in a statement that a court-ordered removal, rather than a voluntary one, would have had “grave consequences for the country’s political and parliamentary life” as it would set a precedent around the removal of Arab candidates.
双重标准拉姆党在2021年大选后创造了历史,成为第一个加入以色列政府的阿拉伯政党,当时该党参加了一个完全不同的联盟,该联盟曾短暂地将总理本杰明·内塔尼亚胡赶下台。在此之前,大多数以色列巴勒斯坦公民都没有参与联盟政治。
Double standards The Ra’am party made history after the 2021 election, becoming the first Arab party to join an Israeli government when it took part in a disparate coalition that briefly removed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from power. Most Palestinian citizens of Israel had stayed out of coalition politics until then.
在这次选举中,拉姆还首次派出犹太复国主义候选人约阿夫·塞加洛维茨(Yoav Segalovitz),他因担任国内安全部副部长期间遏制犯罪的工作而在阿拉伯社区中赢得了欢迎。
In this election, Ra’am is also fielding a Jewish Zionist candidate for the first time, Yoav Segalovitz, who won popularity in Arab communities for his work to curb crime as deputy minister for internal security.
选举委员会9月份的投票招致了双重标准的指责,因为巴勒斯坦领导的政党面临排斥,而极右翼部长领导的政党(其中一些部长受到了国际制裁)留在了选票上。
The election committee’s September vote drew accusations of a double standard, as Palestinian-led parties faced exclusion while parties led by far-right ministers, some of whom have been sanctioned internationally, stayed on the ballot.
阿布·谢哈德周五在接受半岛电视台采访时表示,他退出是因为他“没有任何其他选择”。
Speaking to Al Jazeera on Friday, Abu Shehadeh said he withdrew because he “didn’t have any other choices”.
尽管最高法院已恢复阿拉伯政党的投票权,但阿布·谢哈德表示,这一逆转并没有使最初的取消资格可以接受。
Although the Supreme Court has restored the Arab parties to the ballot, Abu Shehadeh said the reversal did not make the original disqualifications acceptable.
他说:“最终,昨天发生的事情对民主来说是一场历史性的灾难,或者说以色列国民主的边缘非常狭窄。”“我被取消资格是因为我的想法不同,因为我对如何在我们今天居住的地方阅读历史、现在和未来有不同的叙述。”
“In the end, what happened yesterday was a historical catastrophe for democracy, or the very narrow margins of democracy in the State of Israel,” he said. “I was disqualified because I think differently, because I have a different narrative on how to read history, the present, and the future in the place that we live today.”
