Israel's internal security agency found no evidence that foreign powers meddled in the country's elections, according to law enforcement officials quoted by Haaretz. The Shin Bet's conclusion contradicts claims made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who had alleged interference in electoral processes.
The officials did not specify which elections or timeframe the investigation covered, nor did they elaborate on the scope of the Shin Bet's inquiry into the matter.
