Likud Claims Election Stolen by Arab Parties After Record Performance
Summarized from The Times of Israel by baba
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party claimed the election was "stolen" by Arab parties, demanding an investigation into alleged fraud after Ra'am and the Joint List achieved a record performance, projected to win 19 seats. This outcome leaves both Netanyahu's bloc and his rivals short of a Knesset majority, potentially making the Arab parties kingmakers. The Central Elections Committee is reviewing Likud's allegations, while leaders of the Arab parties indicated a willingness to support an opposition government but not join a coalition. With most votes counted, neither bloc has secured the 61 seats needed for a majority.
