[Israeli Attorney General Demands Intelligence Agency Submit Progress Report on Election Fraud Investigation] On March 3, Israeli Attorney General Baharaf-Miyar demanded that the General Directorate of National Security submit preliminary progress reports on the investigation into alleged election fraud by Arab-origin political parties, accusing it of failing to transfer materials to a special investigation team. The Likud party accused the parties of covering up foreign manipulation of the election, while Arab-origin parties denied the accusations. The Central Election Commission stated on the evening of March 3 that it would not delay the announcement of the election results, and President Herzog was scheduled to receive the results at noon on March 4 and consult with various parties. The Israeli opposition issued a joint statement on March 3 supporting Eisencott's swift formation of a government, reiterating four principles including recognizing Israel as a "Jewish democracy" and Hamas as a "terrorist organization," potentially excluding some Arab-origin parties from the ruling coalition. Election Results: The ruling coalition won 53 seats, the opposition won 48 seats, and Arab-origin parties won 19 seats, all falling short of the 61-seat threshold for forming a government. (Xinhua)
