Israeli President Isaac Herzog warned against tarnishing an entire community after Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies alleged ballot fraud involving Arab-led parties. Herzog said he had spoken with the central elections committee and Shin Bet about alleged foreign interference and called for a thorough investigation. He also urged parties to reconsider their positions ahead of coalition talks.
Why it matters
Arab-led parties could determine whether a governing coalition can form; Herzog urged parties not to exclude their voters while allegations are investigated.
