The Center for Combating Disinformation under the Turkish Presidential Administration (DMM) flatly denied the accusations of the Israeli authorities about Ankara's interference in the parliamentary elections in Israel. As Anadolu Agency emphasizes, the Turkish department called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statements a planned disinformation campaign designed to divert attention from the internal political crisis in Tel Aviv. "The accusations circulating in some of the international media and social platforms that Turkey interfered in the elections in Israel are completely unfounded. These statements are part of a deliberate campaign of disinformation aimed at manipulating public opinion," the department said in a statement. The Knesset elections were held on October 27 with a record turnout of 77.7% since 1999. Based on the results of counting 97.3% of the polling stations, Netanyahu's coalition receives 53 mandates out of 120.
