Who actually won? The fight over Israel's election

Описание: Israel’s opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot said Netanyahu is running “an orchestrated and organized campaign to delegitimize the election results.” (Gadi Eisenkot, 1 Nov 2026)

Context: Netanyahu and Likud claim Arab-led parties stole the 27 Oct election through fraud and foreign funding. Qatar rejects the funding claim. Israeli officials say the results stand. Neither bloc has 61 seats. Netanyahu’s has 53, Eisenkot’s 48, and Arab-led parties won a record 19.

What’s unverified: The reports we read show no evidence for the fraud claim. Police say suspects arrested were connected to Ra’am, but we found no details of the alleged offences.
