The head of the opposition in Israel, Yair Lapid, accuses regime loyalists in the security services of trying to "steal the results of the Knesset elections" Lapid: What we are witnessing is an attempt to destroy democracy by people who refuse to admit defeat. The accusations come after the disclosure that Shin Bet chief David Zini asked to investigate 3 Arab politicians, Mansour Abbas, Ahmed Tibi and Sami Abu Shahada, on suspicion of foreign interference in the elections. The government's legal advisor rejects the request and considers it "illegal" due to the lack of evidence Lapid calls on the opposition parties to overcome their differences and speed up the establishment of a new government.
