Elections 2022 | Likud primaries: the court in a dramatic decision

by time news

2022 election: The political system continues its preparations for Voter’s Day, which will take place on November 1. Meanwhile, two days before the Likud primaries, the party’s Supreme Court decided this evening (Monday) to approve the candidacy of the convicted felon, his uncle Laniado, which is competing for the Dan district slot. However, the Likud chairman Benjamin Netanyahu He directed the ombudsman of the group to file an appeal with the district court against the approval. Laniado was represented by attorney Uri Haberman from the Sharkon, Ben Ami, Asher & Co. office.

In the decision of the Likud tribunal, it is written that “after hearing the arguments of the parties, and especially the arguments of the Likud’s legal counsel, and after examining the decision of the election committee, with all the desire not to interfere in the application of the committee, that we understand its considerations and prevention, we came to the conclusion that we cannot not to intervene in the election committee’s decision and we state that there are legal reasons to disqualify a candidate because of convictions for which the statute of limitations has passed.”

At the same time, the Likud court ruled that it calls on Laniado to examine and consider the consequences of his candidacy, in light of his statement before the court, that if he is convinced that his candidacy harms the good of the movement, he will do the right thing on his own initiative.

As I recall, the chairman of the Likud election committee, the judge Menachem Na’im, already disqualified my uncle’s candidacy for Nyado. In the decision, he said that “when the fact that Mr. Laniado was convicted of additional criminal acts was brought before us, it seems that I must rely on the will of the majority of the members of the election committee and order the disqualification of Mr. Laniado’s candidacy to be the movement’s candidate for the Knesset – and so I order.”

His uncle Laniado said in response: “The Likud is a house and it is the largest party in Israel. Precisely because of the decision that was made tonight, in which a man who made a mistake many years ago, corrected his ways and became a contributing citizen to society can represent his voters with respect and appreciation. The campaign that was conducted against me in the media was full of lies and half-assed Truths to present a distorted image of Hebrew.

“Despite this, my spirit will not fall. As a member of Likud Rootshi, I will stand to the right of the movement and to the right of the next Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, even if the winds are currently stormy. I undertake to give hope, through the Knesset of Israel, to every man and woman, who grew out of hardship and difficulty, were unjustly labeled and overcame all difficulties By becoming good, contributing and law-abiding citizens.”
