Israel's Mossad intelligence agency will assist the Shin Bet security service in its investigation into suspected foreign interference in Israeli elections. The probe is examining allegations that foreign funds were transferred to political actors in Israel to finance operations aimed at encouraging voter turnout.
The investigation is looking into the potential involvement of several countries, excluding Qatar. A source familiar with the matter told Haaretz that security agencies are investigating suspicions of foreign money being funneled to political entities to fund voter mobilization efforts and the use of various platforms for this purpose.
However, the source also estimated that the scope of the affair is limited and that its impact, if any, is far from the descriptions that have been presented.
