Story summary

As of November 3, 2026, Israel's Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara asked the intelligence agency Shin Bet to provide evidence for alleged electoral fraud involving Arab Israeli parties. This request came after media reports suggested that Shin Bet head David Zini had requested questioning leaders of these parties as part of an investigation into suspected election irregularities from the previous Tuesday’s legislative elections. Baharav-Miara stated, "If the Shin Bet or any other authority holds evidence that would justify opening an investigation, it is invited to present it." She also accused Shin Bet of not sharing material from their investigation with her special team. Netanyahu's Likud party criticized Baharav-Miara’s stance as obstructionist.
