The Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) has issued a formal statement addressing suspicions of Qatari interference in the recent elections. The agency emphasized that its investigation is ongoing and any claims regarding the specifics or nature of the suspicions are not authorized.
According to the Shin Bet, only Judge Noam Sohlberg had access to the sensitive information before the election's conclusion, with no other external parties being privy to it. The agency stressed that such investigations are narrowly focused and do not aim to cast blame on any entire sector of the population that voted legally and democratically. Only individuals who acted unlawfully will be addressed.
In coordination with and at the request of Judge Sohlberg, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Yisrael Beiteinu party head Gadi Eisenkot, and Opposition Chairman Yair Lapid were briefed within the last 24 hours by Shin Bet Director David Zini on the developments.
