Israel's Supreme Court has advised the leader of an Arab political party to withdraw his bid for parliamentary election, according to a report by Al Jazeera.
The advice follows a vote last week by Israel's Central Elections Committee to bar both of the country's main Arab-led political lists, along with two individual candidates, from participating in the parliamentary election, the report said.
Al Jazeera's report did not specify the court's full reasoning or whether the barred lists and candidates plan to appeal the committee's decision.
Israel's Central Elections Committee has in past election cycles sought to disqualify Arab parties and candidates, with such decisions often subject to review by the Supreme Court.
