Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attacked Israel's Arab political parties, accusing them of election fraud, as his coalition negotiations left him short of a parliamentary majority, Al Jazeera English reported. The accusations came amid coalition talks following elections in which no single bloc secured an outright majority.
Palestinian-Israeli parties have historically played a significant role in Israeli politics, particularly in coalition-building scenarios. Netanyahu's public criticism of the Arab parties marked an escalation in his rhetoric surrounding the electoral process and coalition formation.
