schema:articleBody	Israel's central elections committee Wednesday disqualified an Arab lawmaker from running in the upcoming elections after accusations she supported "terrorists". Members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party had joined forces with the nationalist Yisrael Beitenu in the petition to disqualify Heba Yazbak, a member of the Arab Joint List. They alleged she supported an armed struggle against Israel and had praised militants who killed Israelis. The committee of lawmakers voted 28-to-seven to exclude her from standing in the March 2 polls. Yazbak is a member of the Arab nationalist group Balad and has been in the Knesset since last April. "For years she has been praising those terrorists," said Oded Forer of Yisrael Beitenu at a hearing Wednesday ahead of the vote. Yazbak said she had done no wrong and accused the committee of being "a political body". "I never called for the use of violence, nor have I ever intended to praise the use of violence," she said in a statement following the hearing. Yazbak said she would appeal the decision to the supreme court. Yazbak was targeted in particular over a Facebook post in support of Samir Kantar, a member of the Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah who was convicted of murdering three Israelis, including a four-year-old girl, in 1979. "It's clear there's no legal grounds for disqualifying me, and I hope the supreme court will act accordingly," Yazbak said. However, in hindsight, she said she would have "phrased things differently" on her social media account. Israel's top court barred two members of the extreme-right party Jewish Power from running in the September 2019 elections over "incitement to racism." mib-jjm/lg/dr
