The Democrats Party's election committee has disqualified former Meretz MK Mossi Raz from running in the primary for the Meretz slot on the party's Knesset list, Raz confirmed Tuesday. Raz said the committee is 'trying to erase 30 years of my activity in Meretz,' and called on party leadership to reverse the decision.
Mossi Raz, a former Meretz MK and longtime activist, announced Tuesday that the Democrats Party election committee has disqualified him from competing for the Meretz slot in the party's upcoming primary. Raz, who identifies with the far-left 'Day Against the Occupation' movement, said the decision is an attempt to erase three decades of his work in Meretz and spat in the face of tens of thousands of Meretz and Democrats members. He expressed hope party leadership would overturn what he called a 'hallucination.' The party has not yet issued an official statement on the disqualification. The primary is scheduled for July 20, with over 85,000 registered members.
