The acting director of the Central Elections Committee, Idan Livni, stated that the committee did not receive specific security warnings on the eve of the Knesset elections. Livni, who is handling the main responsibilities of the 26th Knesset's Central Elections Committee, made these remarks at a conference organized by Yedioth Ahronoth and Ynet. His statements appear to contradict those made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Livni emphasized that while he would not reveal intelligence information, the committee had not received specific warnings. He affirmed the committee's readiness to hold the elections as scheduled, unless the Knesset, with an 80-member majority, decides to postpone them. Livni explained that the Knesset would convene to set a new date only if circumstances, such as a missile attack preventing the elections, arose. He asserted that Israel's enemies would not determine the election date.
