Israel probes meddling
Israel’s General Security Service (Shin Bet) is investigating suspicions of foreign interference in the elections scheduled for October 27. The allegations include the possibility that the Palestinian Authority transferred money to members of Arab parties, and an alleged channel through which Qatari funds reached a figure in the Joint List to encourage voter turnout. The investigation is still preliminary: investigators have not confirmed whether the Palestinian Authority transferred funds, or their amount or purpose. They are also examining claims that an unnamed Knesset member received thousands of shekels from Qatar and used the money in the election campaign. The chairman of the Central Elections Committee has tasked the Shin Bet with investigating and submitting preliminary findings within about a week. The official findings are expected to be submitted to President Isaac Herzog on Wednesday.
