English · 1 newsroom

An Israeli investigative report alleges that aides to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may have fabricated intelligence to support claims of election fraud involving the Arab Ra'am party. A former PMO employee reportedly provided information leading to arrests on election day, which were then amplified by Netanyahu's campaign. The Attorney General's office and police are examining suspicions that this intelligence was deliberately planted. Separately, Shin Bet chief David Zini's requests to arrest and wiretap Arab lawmakers were rejected by the Attorney General due to lack of evidence.
