Why doesn’t Yitzhak Amit want to write a ruling?

Because according to the Supreme Court’s past rulings, and Amit’s in particular, there is no real legal basis for disqualifying Abu Shehadeh.

After all, Amit wrote a ruling allowing Heba Yazbak to run even though she praised the killer Dalal Mughrabi and the killer Samir Kuntar. (In her defense, believe it or not, she wrote that she praised Mughrabi from a feminist angle.)

Now he understands that the public will not accept a ruling that also allows Abu Shehadeh to run, after all the Zionist parties supported his disqualification.

So he is trying at all costs to avoid the dilemma.

It may be many things, but constitutional law it is not.
