Yair Golan, head of the Democraticim party, accused Prime Minister Netanyahu of attempting to undermine election results through a "vile smear campaign" against the will of the people, particularly targeting Arab citizens. Golan called for a full investigation into any genuine suspicion of election integrity violations, referencing alleged Qatari interference in Netanyahu's office and demanding accountability. He asserted that Netanyahu is threatening to undermine the democratic process, but that the people have already removed him from power and will ensure his departure from office.
In response to reports of foreign interference in parliamentary elections, the Likud party issued a statement after the President of the Central Elections Committee, Judge Noam Sohlberg, requested the Shin Bet security agency investigate suspicions of electoral bribery by foreign entities. Likud described the alleged "Ra'am Gate" as an "earthquake," claiming foreign entities bribed voters to influence Arab parties and the Knesset. The party stated this constitutes a hostile act against democracy aimed at foreign control, the "Islamization of Israel," the downfall of the right-wing government, and weakening the Israeli military, especially against Iran.
Likud further argued that foreign attempts to control the Knesset mean no Zionist party should cooperate with the United Arab List or the Common List to replace the Knesset speaker with purchased votes or form a government that endangers Israel. The party urged the Shin Bet and police to immediately investigate these alleged crimes through all available means.
