Israel Investigates Possible Foreign Funding of the October 29 Election Campaign The Chairman of Israel's Central Election Commission, Judge Noam Zolberg, ordered the Shin Bet to investigate suspicions of foreign influence attempts on the October 27 parliamentary elections. According to reports in the Israeli media, it may be the financing of organizations involved in recruiting Arab voters. The publications mentioned Qatar and Turkey. Both countries have denied the allegations. Against this background, Binyamin Netanyahu's Likud party announced the possibility of fraud and demanded an investigation. However, the CEC's acting director-general, Dean Livna, said the commission had no evidence of systemic violations. Police also said there was no investigative or intelligence evidence to support allegations of widespread fraud. The Shin Bet confirmed a limited investigation and emphasized that the suspicions have not yet been proven and do not provide grounds for accusing any group of voters. The final results should be presented to the President of Israel on November 4.
