Sagi Keizler, director of the Likud party's Election Purity Staff, has leveled serious accusations against the Central Elections Committee, alleging its failure to address numerous complaints during and after the recent elections. Keizler stated that on election day alone, the Likud submitted 1,183 complaints concerning fraud, corruption, illegal money transfers, fuel cards, food vouchers, and the misuse of voter mobilization software. He asserted that the committee failed to act on any of these complaints, either on election day or afterward.

Furthermore, Keizler claimed that Likud activists received threats from senior officials within the Elections Committee prior to the vote. These threats reportedly warned party members sent to polling stations against causing trouble or taking photos, with the implication of being removed from the premises. Keizler also refuted the committee's characterization of the geographical scope of the Likud's complaints, stating they originated from a wide range of locations across Israel, not just specific cities as suggested, and that the number of violations reported was "unimaginable."
