The Shin Bet (Israel's internal security service) said Thursday that its inquiry into suspected foreign interference in the election was based on intelligence it collected itself and rejected that the material came from a political party, warning against using the investigation to cast suspicion on an entire community of voters, according to the Jerusalem Post.

The Central Elections Committee rejected claims of systematic fraud, saying the vote was conducted lawfully, and police said there was no investigative support for Likud's broad stolen-election allegations.
