The "Yisrael” party, led by Gadi Eisenkot, has urgently appealed to the Attorney General and the Central Elections Committee chairman to immediately cancel a meeting scheduled by Benjamin Netanyahu with the Police Commissioner concerning election integrity. The party argues that Netanyahu, as a candidate himself, is not responsible for overseeing election purity, and the Police Commissioner is not subordinate to him on this matter. The appeal, submitted on Sunday, expresses concern that the "unusual meeting" is an attempt to create a false impression of compromised election integrity, without basis, to preemptively undermine public trust in the results. The party stated that Netanyahu appears to understand he is heading for a loss and fears he is attempting to pressure public servants for his political gain. The party also noted that the Police Commissioner is not beholden to Netanyahu on this issue.
