Israel Election: Partial Results Indicate Possible Deadlock, Netanyahu Alleges Fraud
Ministers cited arrests, seized cash and turnout of 80% in Arab communities as evidence of a coordinated bribery scheme.
- On Wednesday, Israeli government ministers and right-wing lawmakers demanded an urgent investigation into allegations of widespread voter fraud, accusing the United Arab List of orchestrating a large-scale vote-buying operation during Tuesday's Knesset election.
- The letter pointed to an inexplicable spike in Arab voter turnout reaching approximately 80% on Tuesday, compared with 53.2% in the 2022 election, and raised concerns over Aid 48's alleged financial connections with Hamas.
- In the Negev, authorities arrested three Bedouin residents on suspicion of bribery, with lawmakers claiming seized envelopes bore the inscription 'Gift from the Islamic Movement' intended to encourage voters to support the United Arab List.
- The United Arab List rejected the accusations, accusing National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir of police suppression, while Central Election Committee director Dean Livne stated there was 'no basis for allegations of election theft.'
- As election authorities counted nearly 94% of votes, neither the coalition led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nor challenger Gadi Eisenkot secured a 61-seat majority, leaving the final outcome uncertain until Nov. 4.
