Member of Knesset Ayman Odeh has responded to serious allegations of direct involvement in the "ballot terrorism" affair by deflecting blame onto Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the right-wing bloc. Instead of addressing the accusations directly, Odeh employed a strategy of shifting the discussion, claiming the actions against him are a calculated political persecution. He asserted that these moves stem from the high voter turnout in the Arab sector and the government's fear of losing power.
Odeh accused Netanyahu of political hysteria, stating that the fear of losing leadership has led to desperate measures and indiscriminate attacks. He characterized the criminal and security suspicions against him as an inflated balloon destined to burst. Furthermore, Odeh preemptively discredited any potential findings or developments in the investigation before the Knesset's swearing-in ceremony, describing the affair's exposure as a series of lies and spins aimed at undermining election results.
He concluded by calling on opposition factions to continue acting decisively to bring down the government.
