Member of Knesset Esawi Freij (Meretz) has responded to the decision of Tel Aviv District Court Judge Khaled Kaboub to withdraw his candidacy for the post of Supreme Court justice, claiming, "Justice Kabbov withdrew his candidacy because the end was already known to him in advance. Everyone is comfortable that there is an 'Arab chair' in the Supreme Court, and from the start, no one wanted to allow Kabout to be elected, so that, Heaven forbid, there would not be two 'Arab chairs'."
Frej continued, "Kabov withdrew his candidacy because he knew he was being examined and disqualified, not according to his qualifications, but only because of his origin and did not want to play in Ayelet Shaked's "Game of Thrones" that was lost from the start. Kaboub's decision is correct. The reality that led to it, racist and miserable."
