After Knesset member Gabi Lasky’s request to disqualify Amichai Shikli’s Likud armor was accepted, Meretz filed an appeal to the Supreme Court for not disqualifying the candidacy of Knesset member Idit Silman. As I recall, Silman Shureina is in 16th place in Likud.
“Sillman broke the rules of the game”
As I recall, the Election Committee approved the candidacy of Eidit Silman in the party, and on the other hand, the Chairman of the Central Election Committee, Judge Yitzhak Amit, accepted Meretz’s petition and rejected the candidacy of Amichai Shikli on the Likud list. , until he was announced as retiring. Unlike Shikli, Silman resigned near the time of her retirement from the right and was not announced as retiring by the Knesset committee, therefore the judge ruled that she could run in Likud.
The appeal was submitted, again, to Ski through the party’s attorneys, attorney Uri Haberman and Michal Romano Bertholz. Attorney Uri Haberman stated that: “Silman violated the rules of the game, she withdrew from her party in a written notice, and in return she did not resign from the Knesset shortly thereafter. To enforce the provision of the Basic Law and the personal sanction inherent in it.”
“Shikli brought the disqualification on himself”
In an interview with Kipa News, Knesset member Gabi Lasky, one of the initiators of the move against Shikli, claimed that he brought it on himself. “This is not a decision whether to be happy or not. All in all, the law is very clear, those who retire from their faction must resign from the Knesset close to retirement in order to run in an existing faction. Those who did not meet the conditions of the law cannot run. We come to protect a proper administrator, the law. The law This was installed to prevent stinky exercises and therefore we have to comply with the law. The one who failed Shikli to compete is himself at the moment,” said Laski.
