Israel’s opposition has accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of trying to undermine the legitimacy of an election after his governing coalition lost its majority.
Netanyahu’s Likud party alleged that foreign interference had influenced the result. It also claimed that Arab-led parties had “stolen” the election, intensifying the dispute over the outcome.
Opposition figures rejected the claims and accused Mr Netanyahu of attempting to delegitimise the vote rather than accept the loss of his coalition’s majority. The competing statements have placed the validity of the election result at the centre of Israel’s political dispute.
The available information does not provide further details about the alleged interference, the election result or any subsequent political developments.
