On October 29, 2026, Türkiye's Presidential Communications Directorate rejected allegations of election interference in Israel, labeling them as 'completely baseless' and part of a disinformation campaign. The claims originated from Yair Netanyahu, who accused Türkiye and other Arab states of funding efforts to increase Arab voter turnout to unseat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Türkiye's statement emphasized the need for the public to disregard these false reports. The Israeli elections, held on October 27, resulted in no clear majority, with Netanyahu's bloc securing 53 seats and Arab parties holding 19. The Central Elections Committee chairman has requested an investigation into suspected foreign funding, although no specific countries were named. Both Türkiye and Qatar have denied the allegations, calling them dangerous and unfounded.
