Likud begins to allege potential fraud in Arab communities, with Balad near threshold
Opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party begins to make claims of potential fraud as exit polls show the Arab nationalist Balad party just short of the minimum vote threshold.
“Likud warns of a wide-scale effort to violently forge the election results,” the party says in a statement, without offering evidence.
Netanyahu has made similar unsubstantiated claims of fraud in Arab communities during past elections.
Responding to Likud, the center-left Labor party calls for election observers to remain at polling stations until vote counting is completed.
