Israel's Central Election Commission rejected Yesh Atid MP Vladimir Blayak's request to convene its leadership amid an investigation into alleged Qatari interference in the parliamentary elections, citing the confidential nature of the investigation. CEO Dan Livna claimed that "the Knesset elections were conducted legally" and that the integrity of the ballot was preserved. Qatar's Foreign Ministry has denied allegations that Doha interfered in the Israeli elections or funded any efforts to interfere in the results. However, the chairman of the committee, Judge Noam Solberg, ordered a continuation of the investigation by the Shin Bet after examining "classified and sensitive" intelligence information that raised suspicions requiring further investigation.
