Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party has accused Arab parties of allegedly stealing Israel's recent Knesset election through widespread electoral fraud, bribery, intimidation, and ballot manipulation. The party claims the election was stolen by Arab parties supporting terrorism and the destruction of the Jewish state through serious criminal offenses.

Likud demands an immediate investigation by law enforcement authorities, including the Israel Police, Shin Bet, and the Central Elections Committee. They have provided hundreds of testimonies and pieces of evidence alleging extensive irregularities at polling stations in Arab communities. These allegations include ballot envelopes stuffed with cash, threats of violence, and general misconduct.

However, the allegations have not been independently verified, and no evidence establishing systematic manipulation of the election results has been made public. Likud emphasizes that the conduct is a serious violation of democratic principles and demands decisive action from law enforcement agencies.
