The Israel Police submitted an assessment to the far-left attorney general, Gali Beharev-Miara, in which it concluded that intelligence information examined so far does not reveal evidence of security-related crimes or election financing violations in the investigation of foreign interference in the October 27 Knesset elections.
The findings significantly undermine the claims made by Shin Bet chief David Zini regarding foreign funding and electoral manipulation of Arab political parties.
The investigation has not been officially closed. Shin Bet officials say that more intelligence information remains to be submitted, while Likud representatives accuse the police of not investigating 1,281 complaints about irregularities in the elections. The Attorney General will determine the next steps of the investigations.
