Netanyahu claims the Israeli elections were stolen, investigating the possibility of foreign interference

Israeli security service Shin Bet is investigating allegations of foreign interference in elections, particularly concerning Qatar's influence on Arab voters. Noam Sohlberg, head of the Central Elections Committee, emphasized the seriousness of the claims but refrained from making conclusions. Reports suggest that Shin Bet provided information to Sohlberg regarding significant funding to Arab organizations aimed at influencing voter turnout. Prime Minister Netanyahu's party, Likud, accused Arab parties of election theft and alleged illegal mobilization tactics. However, police sources indicated that there is no substantial evidence to support these claims. The investigation's findings are expected within a week, as political tensions rise over the election results, where Arab parties gained a record number of seats.
