English · 1 newsroom

An N12 investigation links Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office to the arrest of three Ra'am activists on Election Day, alleging that information provided by a former PMO employee was baseless. The activists were arrested without warrants, and suspicions of vote-buying were later deemed exaggerated. The report also revealed that Shin Bet Director David Zini sought to wiretap five Arab MKs on Election Day, a request denied by the Attorney-General. Senior officials have voiced concerns about the integrity of the election process.
