Israel's Central Elections Committee rejects Netanyahu's fraud claims and certifies the October 27 election results.
Israel's election commission said it found no fraud in the October 27 vote and rejected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's claims that Arab-led parties stole the election. The results showed Netanyahu's religious-nationalist bloc losing its parliamentary majority while Arab-led parties made gains. President Isaac Herzog received the certified results and will decide whether Netanyahu or opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot gets the first chance to form a government.
