Gadi Eisenkot, Israel's chief opposition candidate, warned in a video statement Thursday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is conducting a campaign to delegitimise election results, according to Middle East Eye. Eisenkot did not elaborate on specific methods Netanyahu is using to undermine the electoral process.

The warning marks an escalation in rhetoric between the two political rivals ahead of upcoming Israeli elections.
