Jerusalem, 30 Oct. (LaPresse) – Israel’s Electoral Commission, in announcing the results this morning – which show that the bloc led by Benjamin Netanyahu is in the lead but does not have a majority in Parliament – stated that the Shin Bet’s investigation into alleged electoral interference by unspecified “foreign entities” is based on classified intelligence. In a video statement, the commission’s acting director-general, Dean Livne, did not go into detail, but warned that reports concerning the investigation are “entirely unfounded”. “This does not affect the final results that will be presented to the president, nor does it concern any particular segment of the population,” he said.
