Summarized from The Times of Israel by baba
Israeli police reportedly believe the Shin Bet's investigation into foreign election interference lacks sufficient evidence, finding no security offenses and few minor criminal ones. This assessment challenges Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's claims of a "stolen" election. Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara will decide the investigation's future, with police expecting implicated Arab politicians, like Ayman Odeh, not to be questioned. Shin Bet chief David Zini had sought questioning for five Arab lawmakers.
