The Likud party has accused Arab parties of widespread violations during the 26th Knesset elections, demanding that the police and Shin Bet investigate the alleged "theft of the elections." In a statement, Likud claimed that "elections in Israel were stolen by Arab parties supporting terrorism and the destruction of the Jewish state through serious criminal offenses, including bribery, threats, violence, falsification, and the use of prohibited computer programs to attract voters."

The party asserts it has provided hundreds of testimonies and evidence of violations at polling stations in Arab communities to the police, Shin Bet, and the Central Elections Committee. Specifically, Likud claims to have information about thousands of envelopes containing cash and Ra'am party ballots. They also allege that election committee members received threats and that multiple individuals may have voted behind the same voting screens.

Furthermore, Likud reported discrepancies between the number of ballot envelopes and the number of voters, raising suspicions that some individuals voted multiple times. The party also stated that Arab parties employed prohibited programs to increase voter turnout.

"We demand that the police and Shin Bet thoroughly investigate the theft of the elections by Arab parties and bring those responsible to justice," Likud declared. The party also urged the Central Elections Committee to immediately investigate the alleged violations, which they claim significantly impacted the election results.
