Netanyahu Alleges Vote-Buying Attempt Amid Israel Election, Authorities Investigate

Netanyahu urged his supporters to vote in large numbers, framing the incident as a threat to election integrity. Election authorities described the case as localized and under investigation, with no official confirmation of widespread tampering.
