Um el-Fahm Municipality leaders met in urgent session on Wednesday and decided that on Tuesday February 10th, Election Day, all the entrances to the municipality will be manned to ensure right-wing activist Baruch Marzel is not permitted inside. Marzel is assigned to an area school as a poll watcher in the voting station.

The leaders of the municipality vow to prevent him from entering, stating the right-winger is persona non grata and as such, he will be prohibited from being a poll watcher in the Israeli Arab community.
