- Right-wing lawmakers, including Knesset member Tali Gottlieb, argued the parties should be barred, though a judge noted Prime Minister Netanyahu has held talks with Arab party leaders.
- The government's legal representative said there was no basis for disqualification, while Otzma Yehudit insisted on alleged Hamas ties through "aid 48" funding.
