The Banning of Political Parties in Israel 1948–2019

The research paper analysed all legal norms related to the abolition of political parties in Israel until the second decade of the 21st century, as well as examining several of the most significant cases of attempted abolition throughout the history of this state. In the time of the prohibition of the List of Socialists, the institutions were alerted as the state was often in conflict with its neighbours. In the period after the Oslo Accord, the growth of the Jewish right-wing religious influence became a challenge from within the society for the democratic foundation of the state of Israel. When political conditions in the state were stable, the threshold of tolerance towards parties whose policies were hostile to the state and society increased. A stable political situation allows many political options to advocate their policies if they do not actually threaten the state.
