Dr. Amir Fuchs on Kan English Radio on Disqualifying Knesset Lists
Dr. Amir Fuchs, Senior Researcher at IDI’s Center for Democratic Values and Institutions, speaks to Kan English Radio’s Mark Weiss about attempts to disqualify parties and individual candidates from Knesset elections, following the submission of twelve requests to the Central Elections Committee. Such requests are rarely upheld. Fuchs explains the criteria and procedure for disqualifying a candidate list and discusses how this powerful measure has been used too frequently as a threat in recent years.
