Qatar has vehemently denied accusations of interfering in Israel's parliamentary elections, dismissing claims of Doha's involvement in potential fraud as "absurd and dangerous." A spokesperson for the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Majed al-Ansari, stated that allegations of Qatar funding efforts to influence the vote's outcome are part of a disinformation campaign. Doha also rejected claims of bribing Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, left-wing political figures, and Arab voters.

Al-Ansari emphasized that Qatar has no connection to Israel's internal political struggles and does not intend to participate in disputes over election results. He urged Israeli politicians to focus on resolving their country's domestic issues rather than shifting responsibility to Doha.

Meanwhile, the acting Director General of the Central Election Commission of Israel, Din Livne, described claims of large-scale fraud as unfounded. According to Livne, the voting process adhered to the law, and he is unaware of any evidence of systematic violations.
