The Likud party has accused Arab parties of widespread violations during the 26th Knesset elections, demanding an urgent investigation by law enforcement agencies. Likud representatives are calling for a thorough probe by the police, Shin Bet, and the Central Elections Committee.

According to a party statement, numerous instances of voter bribery, threats against election commission members, direct falsifications, repeat voting, and the use of prohibited computer programs to artificially inflate turnout were recorded on election day. Specifically, Likud leadership claims that voters were given envelopes containing cash along with Ra'am party ballots.

The Likud party asserts that it is submitting hundreds of documentary pieces of evidence of alleged violations to state authorities. The political bloc estimates that the recorded incidents were systemic and could have significantly impacted the final results of the Israeli parliamentary elections.

The Central Elections Committee confirmed receipt of Likud's official complaint, which accuses Arab parties of "stealing the election." The committee stated that the complaint is being reviewed as part of the standard control procedure conducted after every vote. This review will involve a thorough examination of all submissions from political factions regarding potential violations and inaccuracies in vote counting.
