Israel's Election Committee Finds No Evidence of Vote Fraud

Israel's election committee has concluded that last week's Knesset election was conducted fairly and its results are valid, following a review of complaints and allegations. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies had claimed Arab-Israeli parties "stole the election," possibly with foreign help. The committee says it found no evidence of irregularities affecting the election's integrity or outcome, though Shin Bet continues a separate probe into foreign interference. Netanyahu's coalition with far-right parties lost its parliamentary majority, while Arab-Israeli parties gained strength and may play decisive roles in upcoming coalition negotiations.
