Prior to the elections, the Central Elections Committee (CEC) disqualified Arab MK Haneen Zoabi.
Adalah successfully defended MK Zoabi before the Supreme Court, which allowed her to run. The CEC
Adalah got overturned unanimously in the Supreme Court.
Adalah also represented Arab MKs Mohammed Barakeh and Said Naffaa on politically-motivated charges
against them for participating in demonstrations and arranging a trip for Arab Druze religious
leaders to holy sites in Syria respectively, with the Nazareth District Court deciding that MK Naffaa’s
parliamentary immunity did not protect him.
