Israel Police has rejected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's claims that the October 27 general election had been "stolen." The police force said there was no investigative or intelligence evidence to support the allegations.
"Election day passed with a small number of unusual incidents concerning electoral integrity, even compared with previous elections. It should be emphasized that there is no investigative or intelligence evidence to support the claims," it said in a statement, cited by The Jerusalem Post, on Thursday, October 29.
In a video addressed to Likud voters on voting day, Netanyahu warned that Arab voters in southern Israel were "racing to the ballots" and claimed that "they are trying to steal the election from us," referring to three Ra'am party operatives reportedly arrested on suspicion of bribing voters.
