Israel's attorney general demands evidence for Netanyahu camp's election fraud claims

Israel's attorney general on Tuesday demanded intelligence services provide evidence for election fraud allegations against Arab parties, following accusations from Netanyahu's camp. Official results are due Wednesday after the October 27 election produced no clear majority. Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara stated investigations cannot proceed without justification, noting the Shin Bet had submitted no evidence. The Likud party accused her of obstruction, while opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot called the claims an attack on democracy. Arab parties rejected the accusations. President Isaac Herzog begins party consultations Wednesday to select a government formateur. The opposition bloc, holding 48 seats versus Netanyahu's 53, seeks a national emergency government but remains divided on potential support from Arab parties, which won a record 19 seats.
