Israel Post-Election Deadlock: Official Results Confirm Netanyahu Lacks Majority Amid Accusations of Fraud

Following the Israeli general election, the final official results confirm that Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing bloc has failed to secure a parliamentary majority, winning 53 seats in total. Opposition leader Yair Lapid claimed victory, while Arab-majority parties made historic gains by winning 19 seats. Netanyahu and his allies have alleged systematic fraud and foreign interference, specifically targeting Arab voters and alleging Qatari funding. These allegations were firmly rejected by Israel's Central Elections Committee, the Shin Bet, and Qatari officials, who called the accusations baseless.
