Israel’s attorney general asks intel services to provide proof of poll fraud
Gali Baharav-Miara made the remarks after Arab Israeli parties raised allegations of electoral fraud, adding that no evidence had yet been submitted.
Israel's Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara requested intelligence agency Shin Bet to provide evidence of alleged electoral fraud by Arab Israeli parties, according to a statement to the media. She emphasized that any investigation must have a solid foundation of evidence. This comes after reports that Shin Bet head David Zini, a close ally of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, had requested to question leaders of the Arab parties following last Tuesday's legislative elections.
Baharav-Miara accused Shin Bet of not sharing the investigation material with her special investigation team. Netanyahu's Likud party responded by accusing her of obstructing the investigation and covering up the manipulation of the electoral process by foreign actors.
