Moshe Feiglin, chairman of the Zehut party, has launched a sharp attack on the results of the 26th Knesset elections, demanding the immediate dissolution of the Knesset and new elections. In a tweet, Feiglin stated, "The current Knesset is not legitimate," accusing the law enforcement system of covering up suspicions of election integrity violations. He compared the alleged cover-up to that of other affairs, asserting that the system is attempting to sweep under the rug a severe blow to the elections: the distortion of voter will and the theft of the election.
Feiglin's remarks come amid suspicions of irregularities in the elections. These include an investigation into alleged foreign funding and undue influence on the electoral process, as well as a separate probe into vote-buying following the seizure of cash envelopes. The Likud party reported 1,183 complaints on election day, citing allegations of double voting, threats, and polling station deficiencies.
However, these suspicions and claims do not constitute proof of election result falsification. The chairman of the Central Elections Committee, Judge Noam Sohlberg, clarified that the elections were conducted properly. Feiglin also criticized the Attorney General and the law enforcement system, describing their actions as an "Orwellian show" attempting to convince the public that the "emperor is clothed" when he is naked. He argued that the system's attempt to dictate how the public interprets events undermines the foundations of democracy.
Feiglin declared that Zehut will demand the immediate dissolution of the Knesset, stating, "Without free and genuine choice, democracy has no meaning." He asserted that citizens' freedom to choose their leaders has been taken away.
