Netanyahu’s Party Alleges ‘Serious Criminal Offenses’ in Israeli Election
Likud said it is submitting hundreds of testimonies and evidence to police and election officials over alleged bribery, intimidation and ballot fraud.
- On Wednesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party accused Arab parties of stealing the country's parliamentary election through bribery, intimidation, and prohibited software, demanding immediate investigations by police and domestic intelligence authorities.
- Arab voter turnout surged significantly, enabling parties to gain historic electoral ground and potentially play a kingmaking role in forming the next government, complicating coalition calculations for Netanyahu and rival leader Gadi Eisenkot.
- Likud's election integrity headquarters reported 620 incidents of suspected irregularities collected through over 1,500 representatives. Specific allegations include 10 missing envelopes in Fassuta and an 11-envelope discrepancy in Jadeidi-Makr.
- Ra'am rejected the accusations as politically motivated attempts to suppress Arab voter turnout, alleging that arrests of its activists were unfairly targeted and claiming missing or damaged ballot slips in Arab communities.
- Neither Netanyahu's bloc nor Eisenkot's rival bloc secured a parliamentary majority, leaving the Joint List and Ra'am's combined 19 Knesset seats critical to coalition formation and government stability.
