Elections chief rejects Otzma Yehudit petition alleging Likud fraud

The Central Elections Committee rejects a petition by Itamar Ben Gvir, leader of the extreme right-wing Otzma Yehudit party, which claimed that the Likud party had sent SMS messages to supporters saying that Otzma Yehudit had pulled out of the race.

The CEC’s chairman, Supreme Court Justice Neal Hendel, says Ben Gvir’s claim lacks evidence.
