"The elections were stolen by Arab parties," complain Netanyahu's supporters. No one gained the majority.

The Likud party, led by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accused Arab parties of stealing the parliamentary elections. Preliminary results indicate that neither Netanyahu's coalition nor the opposition bloc will secure a majority in the Knesset. The United Arab List, which will enter parliament, is prepared to support an opposition-led government but will not join it. Likud claims that Arab parties used corruption and intimidation to increase voter turnout. Israeli police arrested three men suspected of attempting to buy votes for the Raam party. The Central Election Commission noted that no similar incidents were reported during the elections.
