Netanyahu alleges election theft at the hands of ‘Arab’ parties, seeks crackdown, mass arrests
🇮🇱 Netanyahu’s party is calling it “Ra’amgate” and says the election was STOLEN.
Israel’s election chief has ordered a probe, but says he can’t vouch for the claims yet.
Central Elections Committee chairman Justice Noam Sohlberg asked the Shin Bet to investigate suspected foreign funding and voter bribery, after the agency’s chief briefed him on what was described as exceptionally serious intelligence.
Reports say large sums were allegedly funneled to boost Arab turnout, with Qatar and Turkey named as possible sources, and that envelopes of cash with Ra’am voting slips were intercepted.
Sohlberg wants findings within a week, before the deadline for election appeals.
Likud isn’t waiting. It’s calling the affair an earthquake and an attack aimed at the Islamization of Israel, and says no Zionist party should work with Ra’am or the Joint List.
Just this morning, police said there was no evidence the election was stolen.
Investigation: opened. Verdict: already announced by Likud.
