Israeli PM, Officials Trade Barbs over Alleged Poll Fraud
The attorney general said no interrogations will proceed without evidence as Shin Bet seeks to question Arab party leaders over alleged election fraud.
- Shin Bet Chief David Zini seeks to interrogate Ra'am Chairman Mansour Abbas, Balad Chairman Sami Abu Shehadeh, and Ta'al Chairman Ahmad Tibi regarding alleged electoral fraud during last Tuesday's legislative elections.
- Media reports from Tuesday evening revealed Zini, a close associate of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, requested the questioning of Arab party leaders following the recent legislative elections.
- Baharav-Miara accused the Shin Bet of failing to share investigation materials with her supervision team, stating no one will be investigated without "evidentiary grounds."
- Netanyahu's Likud party responded to Baharav-Miara by accusing her of "obstructing the investigation" and attempting to "cover up" alleged foreign manipulation of the electoral process.
- Reports indicate a "wall-to-wall agreement" exists regarding significant evidence against one unnamed senior Knesset member, though the Attorney General awaits proof for other requested interrogations.
