Likud and the Netanyahu bloc launched an election-night campaign to delegitimize any political move involving the Joint List and Ra’am, from forming a minority government to replacing the Knesset speaker, the Jerusalem Post reported.

The result could be annulled nationwide if suspicions of foreign funding and election bribery are proven to have affected the vote, an outcome the prevailing assessment within the political establishment considers slim to virtually nonexistent, according to the newspaper. Bezalel Smotrich called on the Shin Bet to question the leaders of Arab parties over claims of foreign interference, according to Middle East Eye.
