Minister Yitzhak Wasserlauf expressed doubt regarding the integrity of the recent election results during consultations with President Isaac Herzog concerning the mandate to form a government. Wasserlauf stated that "many do not trust the election results because some of them were bought with money for lists that do not recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization." President Herzog responded by cautioning against unsubstantiated claims, noting that "all this is in the realm of speculation, there is no evidence or proof." He emphasized the need for legal processes, stating, "In the legal world, suspicions must be substantiated, one must be careful because people make determinations that sometimes end with a weak echo."
