The Netanyahu government and its allies have accused Arab Israeli political parties of electoral fraud, alleging they received illegal foreign funding to support their campaigns.

Investigation launched

An official investigation has been initiated to examine the claims of foreign funding by Arab Israeli parties, which could affect the legitimacy of their electoral results.
