The Likud party, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, accused Arab parties in Israel of election fraud, claiming they used bribery and illegal software to mobilize voters. Netanyahu, Israel's longest-serving prime minister, has faced significant political shifts, including a recent coalition that temporarily ousted him. Following partial election results showing his bloc with only 53 seats compared to the opposition's 67, Likud announced plans to present evidence of alleged irregularities to authorities. Despite these claims, independent verification of the accusations is lacking. Local leaders from Arab communities have strongly denied the fraud allegations, calling them false and inciting. Netanyahu's party is reportedly preparing to contest the election results if they lose, echoing tactics used in previous elections elsewhere.
