Qatar has responded with scorn to allegations that its funds were used to influence recent elections. Justice Solberg has demanded an immediate investigation by the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) into the matter. Questions are also being raised about why the Shin Bet allegedly withheld this information until after the election day.
In the Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) sector, following a significant drop in Knesset seats, the former Chief Rabbi, Rabbi Y. Yosef, sent a special letter to Der'i, urging him not to despair.
Internationally, the leader of Germany's left-wing party admitted to fearing Hamas. In the Black Sea, a ship operated by the ZIM shipping company sank after an attack by naval drones. Meanwhile, the Armenian parliament became the scene of a violent brawl.
Economically, fuel prices are set to decrease on Saturday night, though concerns remain about the sustainability of this change. A viral video circulating online shows a potential case of double voting at a polling station by changing a shirt.
