Concerns are intensifying over alleged foreign funding aimed at manipulating election results, sparking sharp reactions from Israeli politicians. Following information brought to the attention of Judge Noam Solberg, who then contacted the head of the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), suspicions have arisen regarding significant sums of money allegedly funneled by Arab entities, with Qatar mentioned as one potential source country. In response to these allegations, Itamar Ben-Gvir has demanded the arrest of those suspected of involvement. Bezalel Smotrich has called for an investigation by the Shin Bet into the leaders of Arab parties. Avigdor Lieberman has issued a warning, describing the situation as an unprecedented event.
Former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, along with Naftali Bennett and Yair Golan, have been criticized for their silence on the matter. A statement highlighted their alleged coalition with the Muslim Brotherhood, interpreting their quietude as indicative of their future government's moral compass. The criticism suggests that those who previously advocated for democracy are now overlooking its genuine violation.
