Israeli electoral commission confirms results and rejects Netanyahu's fraud allegations

The Israeli electoral commission confirmed the results of the October 27 elections, dismissing allegations of fraud by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Commission president Noam Sohlberg criticized attempts to undermine electoral legitimacy, emphasizing the importance of peaceful power transfer. While investigations into the allegations are ongoing, Sohlberg noted that even confirmed suspicions would have limited impact. Netanyahu accused Arab parties of manipulating the elections and called it the largest electoral fraud in Israel's history. The attorney general condemned attempts to interrogate citizens without evidence. The confirmed results show a divided parliament, with Arab parties potentially influencing the opposition's governance.
