In depth

Likud representative, Adv. Ilan Bombach, approached the committee and requested that its presidium convene and discuss the suspicions of foreign interference before the results are approved. According to Arutz 7, Sohlberg rejected the request, and according to Ynet he ruled that "the results do not depend on the consent of the majority bloc in the outgoing Knesset." According to Israel Hayom, Sohlberg noted that no further information on the investigation can be provided for fear of disruption.

The committee's presidium voted in favor of approving the results, and two representatives abstained. The committee was told that no irregularities in the integrity of the election were found. President Isaac Herzog accepted the official results and called on the factions to hold consultations with an open mind.
