On the day the 26th Knesset was inaugurated, MK Limor Son Har-Melech, Deputy Speaker of the Knesset, submitted a bill to dissolve the Knesset. The Knesset had not yet been sworn in when the bill was submitted.

According to Son Har-Melech, there are grave suspicions of forgery in the elections and of voter fraud. In addition, she said, enemy states interfered in the election results. The head of the Shin Bet warned of this interference.

Son Har-Melech said: "Electoral corruption, forgery and interference by enemy states", and also: "Not loyal to a government that relies on Hamas supporters." She added: "Public trust must be earned honestly."
