Netanyahu blasted the results on X on May 28, claiming the election was "stolen" by Arab parties that support terrorism and the elimination of the Jewish state.
Likud posted a detailed dossier, citing hundreds of testimonies and thousands of envelopes containing cash and Ra’am slips, threats, and double‑identity ballots, and demanding the police, Shin Bet and the Central Elections Committee launch investigations before the Knesset finalises its seat distribution.
Opposing the charge, Joint List chairman Yousef Jabareen said his alliance was ready to help oust Netanyahu, calling for a Jewish‑Arab partnership and denouncing the prime minister’s rhetoric as a threat to Israel’s existence.
Meanwhile, Netanyahu insisted that the right‑wing bloc held a decisive majority among Jewish voters, arguing that any government reliant on anti‑Zionist Arab parties would endanger the state.
The Central Elections Committee has announced it will review the evidence presented by Likud before finalising the 120‑seat allocation, while police and Shin Bet are set to open criminal investigations into the alleged fraud and intimidation claims.
