Netanyahu's Likud party alleged Wednesday that the election was "stolen" by Arab parties, Middle East Eye reported, following the party's failure to secure enough seats to form a government alone.
The claim emerged as Netanyahu faced the prospect of needing coalition partners to assemble a majority in parliament. The specific circumstances surrounding the Likud's seat count and the role Arab parties played in the final tally were not detailed in the available information.
