Meretz chief: Make sure Putin doesn’t steal our election
Meretz chairwoman MK Tamar Zandberg says in a statement, “We demand that the security services make sure that Putin doesn’t steal the elections for his friend, the tyrant Bibi.”
Zandberg issued the statement in response to Shin Bet chief Nadav Argaman’s claim that a certain country is actively planning to hack and influence Israel’s upcoming elections, scheduled for April 9.
Argaman spoke last night at an event in Tel Aviv, but the military censor has prohibited Israeli media from naming the country revealed by Argaman yesterday in a public forum.
Zandberg’s comment referred to Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia.
