Israel’s elections committee will begin discussing petitions to bar candidates on Wednesday.
Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit said late Tuesday that recent remarks by Michael Ben-Ari of the Jewish Power party amount to “incitement to racism” against Israeli Arabs, who constitute around 17.5 percent of the population.
