The Joint List will hold a public campaign launch event in Tel Aviv this evening, on the national memorial day for the October 7 massacre.

The Joint List will hold a public campaign launch event in Tel Aviv this evening (Monday, October 5), on the national memorial day for the October 7 massacre. An official party statement said the event will include a press conference following the withdrawal of Balad chairman Sami Abu Shahada from the Knesset race. Abu Shahada withdrew after the High Court clarified that there is a majority to disqualify him, due to his statements after the massacre. The event, to be held at the FOMA complex, will be attended by the three heads of the parties comprising the list: Ofer Cassif and Dr. Maha Karakbi, the list's candidate. The national memorial ceremony for fallen security forces began at 11:00 AM, and the memorial ceremony for victims of hostilities will take place at 2:00 PM. The article calls the event "outrageous" and uses the words "shamelessly" and "ignoring the national mourning" to describe the decision to hold the event at this time.
