Knesset Member Ayman Odeh has responded to reports alleging he received hundreds of thousands of shekels in cash from the Palestinian Authority. Odeh characterized the investigation into these suspicions as a "political persecution." He linked the scrutiny to the historically high voter turnout among Arab citizens, which he stated has unsettled Prime Minister Netanyahu and the far-right.

Odeh predicted that the "campaign" against him would quickly deflate, describing it as a "bloated balloon that will burst in the faces of its initiators." He anticipates that rumors and falsehoods will escalate as the Knesset's swearing-in date approaches and Netanyahu's term concludes. Odeh emphasized the importance of continuing efforts to fundamentally change the government.
