Netanyahu Accuses Arab Parties of Election Fraud Amid Israeli Coalition Deadlock
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party have accused Arab Israeli parties, particularly Raam and the Joint List, of attempting to steal the recent Knesset election through bribery, intimidation, and electoral fraud. Netanyahu called for immediate investigations, citing evidence and arrests related to vote-buying. Arab party leaders denied these allegations, framing them as tactics to mobilize right-wing voters. With neither Netanyahu's bloc nor the opposition securing a majority, Arab parties hold a potential kingmaker role in forming the next government.
