Suspected Ra'am Vote Bribery Case Transferred to Lahav 433 as Netanyahu Calls for Investigation
- Three Negev residents were arrested overnight on suspicion of bribing voters to support the Arab Ra'am party, Southern District Police detectives said during an operation conducted as Israelis headed to polls.
- During home searches, police seized tens of thousands of shekels in cash, pre-prepared envelopes bearing the party's logo, and ballot slips suspected of being connected to the alleged election offenses.
- Ra'am filed a complaint with the Election Committee, claiming it was targeted, while also reporting shortages of Arabic ballots and torn ballots in communities including Nazareth and Shefa-Amr.
- Suspects are expected to appear in court Tuesday for a detention hearing, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demanded that law enforcement authorities investigate the incident affecting the Knesset election.
- Ra'am characterized the incidents as an attempt by the political right to prevent it from reaching eight seats and hinder formation of a government of change.
