The Arab Union Party (Ra'am) reported on Sunday that it uncovered evidence of individuals from National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir's police force coordinating with representatives of Ben Gvir's Otzma Yehudit party at a polling station in the Bedouin town of Hura in the Negev. The party released documentation of this alleged coordination. Ra'am stated that the right-wing has been conducting a systematic campaign since the morning to undermine voting for the party, fearing it might secure eight seats. The party believes that achieving this number of seats would guarantee the formation of an alternative 61-seat coalition, thereby ousting the current right-wing government.
