The Israeli electoral commission confirmed an investigation into allegations of electoral fraud involving two Arab parties, but stated that the election results remain valid. Despite serious accusations of foreign funding aimed at vote-buying, the commission emphasized that these suspicions would not undermine the legality of the electoral process. The recent elections did not yield a majority for either Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc or his rival Gadi Eisenkot, although the Arab parties made significant gains. Netanyahu's camp has accused the Arab parties of receiving funds from Qatar, which both the parties and Doha have denied. The commission has requested an inquiry into these allegations, while Netanyahu's party criticized the commission's stance on the matter. Official results are expected to be released soon, leading to consultations for forming a new government.
