Summary

Moshe Feiglin, leader of the far-right Zehut party, has called for Israel to annul the election results and hold snap elections, with border police stationed outside polling stations where Palestinians are voting, according to Haaretz as reported by Middle East Eye. In a video statement Feiglin said "We cannot allow Qatar to take over our Knesset," after Israel's Central Elections Committee asked the Shin Bet to investigate allegations of foreign interference in the election. Qatar categorically denied the allegations, calling them yet another disinformation campaign aimed at dragging Qatar into Israeli political disputes. Feiglin also called for every voter at Palestinian polling stations to be checked, saying that every woman wearing a burqa must remove her burqa for verification.
