Israel's election commission rejected allegations of electoral fraud promoted by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against Arab political parties on Wednesday, according to Al-Monitor. The Arab parties could prove decisive in removing Netanyahu from power following a contentious vote. Netanyahu's accusations targeted the parties that may hold crucial leverage in coalition negotiations.
The dismissal by electoral authorities undercuts Netanyahu's public narrative about the election's integrity, even as Arab parties position themselves as potential kingmakers in post-election political negotiations.
