MK Ariel Kalner (Likud) announced Tuesday night that he will act to disqualify the Arab Israeli party Balad from the Knesset, following reports that Balad candidate Hassan Nassasra published a eulogy for terrorist Maher Younes. Younes was convicted of murdering IDF soldier Avraham Bromberg. The eulogy, reported by Channel 14, prompted Kalner's move, which would require approval from the Central Elections Committee and the High Court of Justice. The incident widens the political controversy over Balad's platform and its candidates' statements.
