The Likud has accused Arab parties of stealing Israel's election through what it calls systematic criminal fraud in Arab polling stations, including bribery, threats, violence and the use of banned voter-mobilisation software.
In a formal statement, the party said the election results were "severely affected" by the activity of Arab parties, which it described as supporters of terror and the elimination of the Jewish state. The statement claimed the alleged misconduct included serious criminal offences: bribery, threats, violence, forgery and the use of prohibited software to drive turnout.
"The elections in the State of Israel were stolen by Arab parties that support terror and the elimination of the Jewish state through serious criminal offences of bribery, threats, violence, forgery and the use of banned software to mobilise voters," the party said.
"The Likud is transferring to the police, the Shin Bet and the Elections Committee hundreds of testimonies and evidence of election theft in many Arab polling stations — thousands of envelopes with cash and Ra'am ballots, threats and violence against polling-station officials, multiple voters behind the curtain, voting under double identity, discrepancies between the number of envelopes and the number of voters, use of banned mobilisation software and more."
