Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with Police Commissioner Dani Levy on Sunday about election integrity, despite being warned not to raise the issue. The meeting, which also included Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir, saw Netanyahu express concerns about "anarchists from the left" disrupting the elections. This occurred even though the Chair of the Central Elections Committee, Noam Sohlberg, had previously clarified to Netanyahu that the topic was off-limits for discussion.

Sources within law enforcement indicated that Sohlberg was "fooled" and urged him to be more vigilant in the coming day. The report, which was initially revealed by "Haaretz," highlights a controversial discussion regarding election procedures and potential interference.
