Yisrael Beiteinu chair Gadi Eisenkot responded Sunday to the joint statement by Central Elections Committee chair Judge Noam Solberg, Shin Bet chief David Zini, and Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, in which they addressed the investigation into suspected election interference and ruled explicitly that the election was conducted properly and that the results as a whole were not compromised. In his remarks, Eisenkot attacked Likud over its attempt to challenge the election results.

Eisenkot: Election results stand
Yisrael Beiteinu chair welcomes Judge Solberg's statement affirming election integrity, attacks Likud for vile attempt to deny the results, delegitimise an entire public and drag Israel to another election
"I welcome the statement by the chair of the Central Elections Committee, Judge Noam Solberg," Eisenkot said. "The vile and malicious attempt to deny the election results, to challenge the will of the public, to delegitimise an entire public and to drag Israel to another election has failed. Only someone who understands he has lost is willing to go on such a blatant delegitimisation campaign, even at the cost of further damage to public trust in the institutions of the state."
He added a call to the public: "The results of the elections to the 26th Knesset are valid and clear. Citizens of Israel, ignore the background noise and ignore the two-hour spin. The people are sovereign, and they have spoken: the government of failure has no majority and it has lost."
