Israeli opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot condemned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after Netanyahu's Likud party accused foreign interference following the general election and claimed Arab parties "stole" the election, leading to his ruling coalition losing its majority. Israel's domestic security agency, Shin Bet, is investigating whether Arab parties received illicit funds from Qatar and Turkey, but Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied these "absurd and dangerous" allegations. Critics believe Netanyahu's move aims to delegitimize Arab parties, thereby preventing Eisenkot from forming a government with them.
