Israel's police have refuted claims made by the Likud party alleging widespread fraud, voter bribery, and vote theft by Arab political forces during recent elections. Law enforcement stated that neither operational nor investigative units found any evidence to support these accusations. According to the police press service, election day concluded with minimal incidents affecting the integrity of the voting process. A thorough review of complaints revealed no signs of systematic interference in ballot counting, with reported violations being fewer than in previous elections. Investigators noted that the public claims by Likud officials were not backed by any investigative or intelligence materials. The Likud leadership had previously made unprecedented statements, accusing rival Arab factions of a planned takeover of votes at polling stations, citing procedural violations and direct voter pressure. The party had formally requested a full criminal investigation. The Central Elections Committee, along with security forces, is overseeing the vote count. Inspectors monitored ballot boxes throughout election day and the counting period, with committee experts promptly verifying reports and referring disputed cases to police. Authorities urged political movements to exercise restraint and avoid spreading unconfirmed information that undermines public trust in democratic institutions. While police continue to examine isolated local incidents, the leadership dismisses the existence of any coordinated scheme to distort election results.
