Joint List MK Ahmad Tibi revealed messages he claims show Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's camp sought help from Arab lawmakers while publicly denouncing cooperation with them. Tibi accused Netanyahu of hypocrisy, citing approaches from his associates and a minister asking for support against Gadi Eisenkot's bloc. Likud denied the claims as "a complete lie," while election officials confirmed no evidence of compromised results. Tibi attributed high Arab voter turnout to anger over government incitement.
