Netanyahu's Likud Alleges Election Fraud by Arab Parties Amid Israel's Fragmented 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. The Central Elections Committee is reviewing these claims amid a fragmented election result, with Netanyahu's bloc projected at 53 seats and opposition at 48, while Arab parties hold a potential kingmaker role with 19 seats. Israel Police has stated no evidence supports the fraud allegations, and an official probe into possible foreign interference has been ordered to maintain electoral integrity.
