In depth

Likud MK Amit Halevi announced his resignation from the Central Elections Committee, where he served as a Likud representative. The resignation came after Judge Noam Sohlberg's decision to bring the election results to the committee for approval. The committee's leadership approved the results for the 26th Knesset, while Likud and Shas representatives abstained, and according to Kikar HaShabbat, Otzma Yehudit announced it would vote against.

According to Israel Hayom, Halevi claimed the committee has no authority to approve the results as long as the suspicions of foreign-state interference have not been removed. According to Maariv, the Shin Bet updated that the suspicions include the flow of funds in huge sums. Halevi accused the Attorney General of obstructing the investigation, and in his remarks called on the public not to lend a hand to harming freedom of choice.
