The Democratic Party, led by Yair Golan, petitioned Israel's Central Elections Committee to prevent the far-right Otzma Yehudit party, headed by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, from competing in upcoming elections, Shehab Wire reported.
The petition represents escalating tensions within Israel's right-wing camp ahead of the electoral contest. Ben Gvir's party has faced repeated legal challenges over its ideology and platform.
