Likud candidate Yaakov Bardugo made strong accusations on Thursday, claiming that the Israeli elections were "stolen" due to alleged foreign interference and bribery. Speaking in an interview with Galey Israel, Bardugo described the situation as an unprecedented event of "earthquake and tsunami" proportions, asserting that the integrity of the elections was compromised.

Bardugo alleged that voters were bribed to benefit Arab parties, which he believes undermines Israel's capabilities and successes. He expressed concern that legal officials involved in the matter might obstruct the investigation.

Specifically, Bardugo criticized the legal advisor to the Shin Bet, suggesting that this individual, appointed by former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, poses a significant obstacle. Bardugo stated that while he is not accusing Bar of involvement, Bar's appointment of the advisor means he should not be involved in the matter.

Bardugo also attacked Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara and other senior law enforcement officials, including Boaz Balt. He voiced apprehension that elements within Israel's legal system with "foreign interests" should not be allowed to handle the investigation.
