  • •Netanyahu's party claims election results were stolen amid allegations of foreign interference.
  • •The elections resulted in a deadlock, with no party able to form a government alone.
  • •Record gains were made by Arab-led parties, complicating coalition negotiations.

Following Israel's general elections, Prime Minister Netanyahu's Likud party claimed the results were 'stolen' due to alleged foreign interference, particularly from Arab-led parties. The head of Israel's elections commission stated that even if these claims are substantiated, the integrity of the election results would remain intact. Netanyahu's party secured 53 seats, while the opposition led by Gadi Eisenkot won 48, leading to a political deadlock. The Arab-led parties achieved a record 19 seats, raising the possibility of a coalition with the opposition. Arrests were made of political activists accused of attempting to bribe voters, which has been condemned by opposition leaders as an undemocratic tactic. The official certification of the election results is expected this week.
