Hot on Eisenkot’s heels, Yair Golan, the leader of the centre-left Democrats, has accused Benjamin Netanyahu of trying to “undermine the election results through an ugly delegitimisation campaign” targeting Arab voters.
Netanyahu’s Likud party has claimed – without evidence – that parties representing Palestinian citizens of Israel had “stolen” the election and demanded the police and the Shin Bet investigate the allegations.
In a post on X, Golan said:
Netanyahu suffered a crushing democratic defeat. The public fired him, and he refuses to accept the verdict of the voters.
Now he is trying to undermine the election results through an ugly delegitimisation campaign against the will of the public, and against the Arab public in particular.
Any genuine suspicion of damage to the integrity of the elections must be investigated to the end.”
Israel’s central elections committee has requested the Shin Bet to investigate alleged foreign interference, the Associated Press reported, citing claims in a letter dated Wednesday of funding by “foreign entities against the Israeli interest” but providing no details or assessment of their validity. The source of the allegations remains unclear, and the committee has requested findings within a week, ahead of the 4 November deadline for certifying election results under Israeli law.
