Likud calls on Attorney General to allow investigation of Arab party MKs over foreign election interference

The Likud party has demanded that Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara stop obstructing an investigation into alleged foreign interference in Israeli elections and permit the Shin Bet to investigate Knesset members from Arab parties and their parliamentary aides. The party accuses Baharav-Miara of unlawfully extending parliamentary immunity to include aides, calling it an extreme distortion of Israeli law. Likud cited Justice Solberg's statement that suspicions of election financing and interference are serious, and referenced Knesset member Avigdor Lieberman's disclosure of funding sources within the Palestinian Authority.
