Israel's election commission says no fraud found in last week's vote
What happened
Israel's election commission found no evidence of fraud in last week's parliamentary vote and certified the final results on Wednesday.
President Isaac Herzog has accepted the certified results as legally binding, according to ABC.
Commission acting director Dean Livne said every complaint was examined individually and thoroughly, and none supported the claim that the results were invalid.
Shin Bet is still probing suspected foreign interference and funding, but the commission said the vote counting was unaffected, according to the Arab Times.
Herzog is expected to consult the leaders of elected parties before choosing who tries to form the next government.
“The review found no evidence of irregularities that compromised the integrity of the election or affected its results”
