Knesset Member Amit Halevi of the Likud party has resigned from the Central Elections Committee. Halevi stated that his decision was prompted by Judge Noam Sohlberg's move to have the election results approved by the committee, and the Likud party's decision to abstain from voting. Halevi explained that until serious suspicions of foreign interference, which Judge Sohlberg noted involve national security, are resolved, the Central Elections Committee lacks the authority to review or approve the election results. Previously, the Central Elections Committee announced the findings of its review of the Knesset election results, reporting no violations or evidence suggesting compromised election integrity or altered outcomes. The official election results were expected to be submitted to the President of Israel later that day.
