🇮🇱 Israel’s election chief is standing by the vote despite Netanyahu’s fraud claims.

Ever since Arab parties made record gains in last week’s election, Netanyahu and his party have been accusing them of stealing it.

Their main target is the Arab party Raam, which Israel’s security service is now looking into over claims it took money from Qatar.

Raam and Qatar both deny it, with Qatar calling the accusation ridiculous and dangerous.

Still, the judge running the election says the overall result holds even if the claims turn out to be true, and for now suspicions remain suspicions.

Those Arab seats could be what helps Netanyahu’s rival Gadi Eisenkot form the next government.
