Summary

Israel's attorney general, Gali Baharav-Miara, said on Tuesday that the Shin Bet security agency should share the progress of its investigation into claims of electoral fraud by Palestinian citizens of Israel parties, and that no evidence had yet been submitted. She said Shin Bet or any other authority holding evidence that would justify opening an investigation was invited to present it. Shin Bet head David Zini, described as a close associate of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, had reportedly requested to question the leaders of the Arab parties as part of the investigation. Netanyahu's party responded by accusing the attorney general of "obstructing the investigation."
