“Netanyahu lost his majority in parliament. Now he claims elections were stolen”

Key points

• Netanyahu’s coalition fell to 53 seats, no clear majority in the 120-seat Knesset.
• Opposition bloc led by Eisenkot has 48 seats, with Arab parties potentially providing 67.
• Netanyahu and allies accuse Arab parties of bribery, foreign funding, and fraud without presenting evidence.
• Mid-October plan to deploy 2,000 observers at Arab polling stations sparked accusations of fraud.
• Central Elections Committee dismissed widespread fraud claims as baseless; elections deemed conducted properly.
