The Netanyahu camp is crying out for "stolen elections" because of alleged Qatari and Turkish funding of Arab votes. The head of Israel's Central Election Commission, Supreme Court Judge Noam Solberg, ordered the Shin Bet to investigate the claims of foreign funding aimed at increasing the turnout among Palestinian citizens of Israel. Israeli media claim that Qatar and Turkey were the sources, citing figures of tens of millions of shekels, although no evidence has been published. According to Channel 12, according to the Shin Bet, the intelligence was before the vote. Solberg wants findings within a week, before the final results are published. In a separate case, Israeli police arrested seven activists from Ram, the Islamic party led by Mansour Abbas. The police claim that three were arrested on election night with envelopes containing tens of thousands of shekels intended to buy votes, and four more were arrested today. The police claim that the case is not related to the Shin Bet investigation and did not blame the Rames leadership. The activists say the money is intended for donations, and Ream calls the arrests political attempts by the Ben-Gvir police to suppress the Arab vote. This did not stop the Netanyahu camp. The Likud branded it "Ramgate" and declared that "the elections in Israel were stolen. The Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, demanded the immediate arrest of the heads of the Arab parties and called it "political October 7", while the Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich wrote that Israel "will not be sold to radical Islam". The coalition members are also pushing for the disqualification of Rames votes. The Arab parties jumped 19 seats, leaving the Netanyahu bloc without a majority and becoming a potential king. Even the Israeli police claim that they found no evidence to support Likud's claims of widespread fraud.
