Israel now accuses Qatar and Turkey of interfering in its elections and increasing the Arab voter turnout, after Arab voters turned out in large numbers in a vote that Israel presents as proof of its democracy. Likud Netanyahu called the issue "Ramgate" and claimed that the elections were stolen, and the chairman of the Central Election Commission ordered the Shin Bet to investigate, even though Qatar denies any involvement and the police report no evidence of widespread fraud. It was reported that the Likud is preparing the "stolen" claim even before the start of the voting.
