According to Rav Yosef, who signed a letter stating his psak, anyone encouraging others to ascend Har Habayit or who goes up is causing the public to sin and it is prohibited to vote for such a person. There are people, he says, who call themselves nationalist, from a variety of parties, who raise their hand up against God and His Torah and cause people to sin with the punishment of kareit, under the banner of nationalism.

Besides for the halachic problem itself of ascending Har Habayit, doing so also causes problems for us with other countries. Rav Yosef rejects the claim that it is needed for strengthening Israeli sovereignty and that, even if true that it strengthens sovereignty, is not any reason to permit an issur kareit..

Rav Yosef then says explicitly that it is prohibited to give such political parties any strength in the elections and to assist them or vote for them. ANyone who does will bear the sin of kareit and carry the collar of kareit around his neck.

Back in 2021 Gideon Saar proposed an amendment to the current law that would also prevent anyone under indictment from being Prime Minister. Saar's proposal became known as Chok HaNeesham - the Law of the Indicted. I am not sure what happened to Saar's proposal - it seems to have just never been dealt with due to the multiple elections and chaos happening in those years.

MK Avigdor Lieberman has spoken out today (and maybe others have as well, not sure) that after the elections, assuming he and his potential coalition partners obtain some sort of victory in the elections, will immediately move to replace Speaker of the Knesset Amir Ohana with their own representative (nothing wrong with this move, it has been done before), and then immediately pass Law of the Indicted, Chok HaNeesham, which would then prevent Netanyahu from running again for Prime Minister (at least until his court cases are finished in his favor with an exoneration of all the main charges) in future elections.

Whether it is a good law or not I don't know, though I think it is. Just like someone indicted should not be any other type of minister, he or she should also not be Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister's attention should be focused on running the country, not on defending himself in court. Even being a good law, it should not be used to ban Netanyahu from running, at least one election forward. Passing this would be a law targeted at someone specifically which should always be out of bounds. If they do pass it, I would expect and hope that Netanyahu would be allowed to run in at least the elections after that (and I am saying this as someone who no longer supports Netanyahu for Prime Minister), though maybe not in elections after the next one. We cannot pass laws targeting specific people and we cannot change the rules in the middle of the game. If after the coming elections this law gets passed, it should only go into effect after the next elections after these.

It would though be fun to see Gideon Saar's law passed to hurt Netanyahu after seeing how Saar has changed his poisitions the past 2 years....
