Shin Bet Chief David Zini has requested to investigate three senior figures from Arab parties as part of a probe into suspected foreign interference in elections, despite a lack of evidentiary basis for such investigations. The report, from Kan News on Tuesday, identified the three as Members of Knesset Ahmed Tibi, Mansour Abbas, and Sami Abu Shehadeh.
Law enforcement officials believe that apart from one other Member of Knesset from the Joint List, for whom relevant information exists, there is no evidence to justify investigating Tibi, Abbas, and Abu Shehadeh. These statements follow a report by "I24news" that Zini sought to investigate four senior figures from Arab parties, including a Knesset member allegedly receiving funds, as well as Tibi, Abbas, and Abu Shehadeh.
