Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit on Tuesday evening submitted a legal opinion to the chairman of the Central Elections Committee, Judge Hanan Melcer, regarding the request to disqualify Otzma Yehudit from running for the Knesset.
In Mandelblit's opinion, which was backed by the State Attorney, the candidacy of Dr. Michael Ben-Ari for the elections to the Knesset should not be approved on grounds of incitement to racism.
