Israel certifies election results

Israel’s Central Elections Committee certified the official results, saying it had found no irregularities or evidence that the vote’s integrity or outcome had been altered. The Shin Bet is investigating allegations of foreign interference. Asharq News reported that the agency presented a summary of suspicions involving foreign influence and large-scale funding, but that supporting evidence for the estimates was not presented. Saudi Gazette reported that allegations by Netanyahu’s camp lacked publicly substantiated evidence and did not justify delaying certification. The investigation is not a finding that interference occurred; an election official also rejected claims of systematic interference. The committee’s head said the inquiry would not fundamentally change the outcome.
