Details have emerged regarding the "vote terrorism" scandal, which allegedly involves serious suspicions of election interference. Military correspondent Noam Amir, who first reported the story, revealed that information about these suspicions was known two weeks prior to the public disclosure.
Amir stated that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had sought to speak with Police Commissioner Dany Levi about the matter. Simultaneously, legal avenues were being explored to prevent a meeting, but the Attorney General, Gali Baharav-Miara, intervened. Amir criticized the system, stating, "There is a crazy system here trying to steal the country."
The controversy surrounding the potential meeting between Netanyahu and the Police Commissioner had previously surfaced. The Yishai party, led by Gadi Eisenkot, demanded the meeting be prevented, and the Attorney General also opposed it. The Prime Minister's office clarified that the discussion was intended to be a security briefing due to serious threats, not an attempt to interfere with election management.
Ultimately, the Central Elections Committee Chairman, Judge Noam Solberg, permitted the meeting, ruling that the Prime Minister could discuss security and public order with the Commissioner but could not instruct him on election integrity. The recent revelations by Amir have given renewed significance to the prior confrontation over this meeting.
