Israel's Channel 12 reported that the Likud party is preparing for a potential wave of complaints and allegations of fraud and irregularities in voting within the Arab community, both before and after the upcoming Knesset elections scheduled for Tuesday. According to information obtained by the channel, the party is examining several issues that could become the focus of these claims, although no evidence of such fraud has been presented yet. Among the issues under consideration are verifying the identities of women voters wearing hijabs, reports of segregated voting hours for men and women in some Bedouin communities, and the ages of election integrity monitors. However, a review of the Central Elections Committee's instructions indicates that some of these concerns already have clear procedures in place, while others do not constitute violations of election laws on their own.
