00:01Israel's Election Commission said on Wednesday it had found no fraud in last week's vote.
00:07The verdict comes after Netanyahu and his supporters repeatedly made unsubstantiated
00:13claims that Arab-led parties had stolen the election, possibly with foreign assistance.
00:18The acting director of the Elections Committee, Dean Livni, said its investigation examined
00:24every complaint individually and thoroughly, but found no evidence to support allegations
00:30that the election results were invalid. Meanwhile, Israel's Election Chief presented
00:35the results to President Isaac Herzog on Wednesday, in which he sought to reassure that suspicions
00:41of electoral irregularities should not cast doubt on votes from the Arab sector.
00:57Meanwhile, Arab parties in Israel accused Netanyahu of inciting hatred to scare voters.
01:03The results showed Netanyahu's religious nationalist bloc losing its parliamentary majority,
01:10while Arab-led parties made substantial gains. A separate Shin Bet probe into alleged foreign
01:16election interference is ongoing, an Elections Committee spokesperson said.
01:20After receiving the certified results, President Herzog will begin to meet each of the parties
01:26elected to Parliament.
