Israeli election officials have banned Arab political parties from running in 
upcoming elections.
Parliament speaker Giora Pordes says the Central Election Committee voted 
overwhelmingly in favor of a proposal to ban two blocs of Arab parties from the 
Feb. 10 vote. The committee said the blocs are guilty of incitement and support 
terrorism.

The election committee is made up of representatives of Israel's political 
parties.

Arab lawmaker Ahmed Tibi called Monday's decision racist. He says he will 
appeal the ruling to the nation's Supreme Court.

About one-fifth of Israel's 7 million citizens are Arabs.
