Less than 24 hours after the 26th Knesset was sworn in, a parliamentary drama unfolded as Deputy Speaker Limor Son Har Melech of the Otzma Yehudit party submitted a bill to dissolve the Knesset and hold new elections. The proposed legislation stems from serious allegations of corruption in the voting process, including fraud, voter deception, and interference by foreign and enemy states in the Israeli electorate's free will.
Sources close to Son Har Melech stated that the bill is based on warnings from the head of the Shin Bet security agency in recent weeks, as well as investigations indicating election bribery, foreign funding, involvement of hostile elements, and illegal attempts to influence the election results for the 26th Knesset. The deputy speaker also sharply criticized the conduct of the "change bloc" parties, accusing them of violating their core campaign promises and misleading the public.
"Today the 26th Knesset was convened, with 19 terror supporters, and on its first day, I am submitting a bill to dissolve it," Son Har Melech declared. She emphasized that Israel cannot ignore the grave suspicions of election corruption, fraud, and foreign interference in its democratic process, asserting that sovereignty belongs to the Israeli people and no foreign entity or corrupt mechanism has the right to interfere with their decision.
