Summarized from Ynetnews by baba
CenterNeutral tone
Israeli police have concluded that intelligence on alleged foreign interference in the 26th Knesset elections does not support suspicions of election-financing or security offenses. The finding follows a dispute between Shin Bet chief David Zini and Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara over investigating Arab politicians. Zini sought broader powers, but Baharav-Miara insisted on an evidentiary basis. The police assessment, sent Tuesday, narrows the scope of the affair, though further intelligence could still be examined.
