Likud claims "Ra'am-gate" scandal shows foreign interference in Israeli elections

The Likud party issued a statement calling the "Ra'am-gate" scandal "an earthquake," claiming that "the elections in Israel were stolen." The statement references Justice Solberg's remarks about foreign actors interfering in elections and bribing voters to support Arab parties. Likud characterized this as "an attack on democracy" aimed at enabling foreign takeover of the Knesset, the Islamization of Israel, and overthrowing right-wing rule to bring about IDF retreat on all fronts, particularly Iran. The party demanded that no Zionist party cooperate with Ra'am or the Joint List, and called for immediate Shin Bet and police investigation into these alleged crimes.
