Urgency: Watch · Evidence: Corroborated reporting
The reports say Israel's Supreme Court unanimously restored Ra'am and the Joint List to the October 27 parliamentary election ballot. They also report Ofer Cassif's reinstatement by a 7–2 vote and Sami Abu Shehadeh's withdrawal from candidacy.
What the sources establish
AFP and Yoav Etiel's separate Jerusalem Post report agree on the two lists, Cassif's vote and Abu Shehadeh's withdrawal. Their independently produced accounts corroborate those outcomes, not allegations underlying the disqualification bids. No material disagreement on the outcomes was found. The original official judgment was not inspected. Event time is AFP's in-window publication minute, not the ruling or withdrawal time. The rounded marker represents the national election, not a court, polling place or person's location. No identity is inferred from party affiliation.
