The Israeli Police have concluded their preliminary review into allegations of election fraud, determining that no security or election financing offenses were found. The findings were submitted to the State Prosecutor's Office. A police source indicated that the suspicions were less significant than what had been reported.
However, the Likud party has sharply criticized the law enforcement authorities, claiming that 1,281 detailed complaints regarding alleged irregularities have yet to be investigated. Sagi Keizler, Director of the Likud's Purity of Elections Headquarters, stated that these complaints, submitted over a week ago to the Police Commissioner's office, include dozens of cases suggesting potential election bribery in the Arab sector.
Keizler asserted that none of the submitted complaints have been examined to date and urged the police to begin a thorough investigation without making excuses. The police review, primarily focused on party financing, also found no basis for offenses in that area.
