Israel election results confirmed as commission rejects fraud claims

Israel’s Central Elections Committee certified last week’s parliamentary election results after reviewing 9,069 polling stations and finding no irregularities that could have affected the vote. Acting director Dean Livne said every complaint had been examined and the results reflected voters’ choices. In the committee presidium, Yesh Atid and Blue and White voted to ratify the results, while Likud and Shas abstained; chair Noam Sohlberg cast the deciding vote. Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies accused Arab parties of stealing the election without evidence, amid disputes over alleged foreign interference and possible questioning of Arab politicians.
