Despite the Central Elections Committee's decision to publish election results on Wednesday, the Shin Bet security agency insists on concerns of election manipulation and is calling for a comprehensive investigation. Likud representative Erez Tadmor stated on 'Gali Israel' radio that thousands of fuel cards were distributed, questioning why authorities did not investigate their origins with companies like Paz and Delek. "They say 'no evidence was found, no proof of fraud, of harming the integrity of the elections.' Did you call Paz? Did you call Delek? They didn't call," Tadmor said.
Tadmor further alleged that the Attorney General, Miyara, is obstructing a full investigation into massive vote fraud and theft funded by hostile nations due to personal interests. He suggested that if the election results were different, or if a right-wing government were to be elected in a new vote, she would be removed from her position.
The Shin Bet's statement, which has significantly eroded trust in the recent elections among right-wing circles, indicated that intelligence suggests widespread funding from foreign countries with covert and hostile interests aimed at influencing the outcome. The agency stated that the collected information points to a broad phenomenon of foreign influence and funding, potentially involving thousands of individuals, and requires further intelligence gathering and investigation to establish the full scope with high certainty.
Separately, journalist Raviv Drucker criticized politician Izankot, stating, "Now is not the time for a boycott."
