Natanyahu's accusation that the election was "stolen" was crushed by the Election Commission

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tried to overturn the results of the recent election. In this regard, officials from the Israeli Election Commission and security agencies made it clear on Monday (2nd) that even if accusations of foreign interference or vote bribery were established, it would not affect the overall election results. On the same day, the court also rejected the police's request for further restrictions on defendants suspected of vote bribery.

According to the Associated Press, Noam Sohlberg, chairman of Israel’s Central Election Commission, the Attorney General and the head of Israel’s National Security Agency (Shin Bet) jointly issued a statement emphasizing that the integrity and results of the election cannot be shaken. The "United Party" (Likud) led by Netanyahu lost its majority in parliament in this election and immediately accused Arab parties of "stealing" the election and accused Qatar of involving external interference in an attempt to prevent the opposition from forming a coalition with Arab parties to form a government.

In this election, Netanyahu's camp won only 53 seats, while the alliance led by his main opponent Gadi Eisenkot won 48 seats, and Arab parties won 19 seats. An alliance between the opposition and Arab parties would give them enough seats to form a new government. President Isaac Herzog is expected to start consultations on forming a cabinet after the results are officially certified on the 5th.

Eisenkot criticized Netanyahu for launching an "organized smear campaign" to impugn the legitimacy of the election by fabricating accusations; Arab party leaders also accused the Likud party of racial incitement. Israeli society is facing deep political divisions after Netanyahu suggested that the opposition's cooperation with Arab parties was tantamount to "treason," triggering demonstrations by right-wing supporters.
