Chairman of the Election Commission Noam Solberg instructed Shin Bet Chief David Zini in a letter to open an investigation into suspected foreign funding and election bribery by foreign parties. The suspicions presented to Solberg concerned improper influence through foreign funding from foreign parties working against the Israeli interest in the elections. Solberg demanded that Mazini present him with the findings of the investigation within a week due to the schedules of the vote counting.
