thehindu.com [$] —

Israel's Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara on Tuesday demanded Shin Bet provide evidence of alleged electoral fraud by Arab Israeli parties, stating no proof has been submitted to justify an investigation. The request follows reports that Shin Bet head David Zini, a Netanyahu associate, sought to question Arab party leaders over suspected fraud in last week's legislative elections. Baharav-Miara accused Shin Bet of withholding material from her supervision team. Netanyahu's Likud party responded by accusing the attorney general of obstructing the investigation and covering up alleged manipulation by foreign actors.
