Netanyahu Alleges Election Fraud by Arab Parties Amid Israel's Inconclusive Vote
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party has accused Arab-led parties of stealing the October 27 election through alleged bribery, voter intimidation, forgery, and use of prohibited software, demanding investigations by police and the Shin Bet security agency. The Central Elections Committee has ordered a probe into suspected foreign interference and funding. While Netanyahu's bloc leads with 53 seats, it falls short of a majority, with Arab parties projected to hold 19 seats, potentially playing a kingmaker role. Israel Police have stated no evidence currently supports claims of widespread fraud, and investigations are ongoing.
