Israel’s election commission says no fraud found in last week’s vote
The committee reviewed 9,069 polling stations and said complaints showed no harm to the integrity of the election.
- On Wednesday, President Isaac Herzog formally accepted the certified October 27 election results and began consultations with party leaders to determine who will attempt to form a government.
- The Central Elections Committee audited 9,069 polling stations—approximately 75% of total locations—and found no evidence of irregularities, directly undermining Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's repeated fraud allegations.
- Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara rejected a Shin Bet request on Tuesday to interrogate Arab lawmakers, including Ra'am leader Mansour Abbas, stating "it is not permissible to interrogate citizens or elected officials without evidence."
- Neither Netanyahu's bloc nor opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot's coalition secured the 61 seats required for a Knesset majority, while Arab-led parties surged to a record 19 seats, becoming potential kingmakers.
- Herzog has 28 days to task a candidate with forming a government, with a possible 14-day extension. Past deadlocks lasted 58 days, signaling potential prolonged instability or new elections ahead.
