Shin Bet Lacks Evidence of Foreign Election Interference, Report Claims
Summarized from The Times of Israel by baba
Senior law enforcement officials have told Haaretz that the Shin Bet lacks evidence of foreign interference in the recent election, despite claims by Likud and allied parties. Shin Bet chief David Zini has led the investigation into alleged funding, reportedly up to NIS 100 million, but current probes focus on much smaller sums from the Palestinian Authority. Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara and Central Elections Committee chairman Noam Sohlberg have stated that any proven fraud would not have altered the election outcome, though Prime Minister Netanyahu and his allies continue to question the results.
