Israel’s election panel has ruled to exclude the two leading Palestinian political factions from participating in the upcoming vote, citing legal concerns over their allegiance to foreign entities.

Legal challenges are expected as the affected groups argue their exclusion undermines democratic representation. The move could reshape the political landscape ahead of the election.
