Israel Election Results Live: Qatar Denounces Accusations of Election Interference
Qatar has dismissed accusations of election interference in Israel as "ridiculous and dangerous," amid ongoing coalition talks following the country's general elections. The comments come as President Isaac Herzog is expected to consult with parliamentary parties to determine who will form the next government.
According to reports, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party has claimed that the election was "stolen" by parties representing Palestinians, but Israeli police have dismissed these allegations. The count of absentee ballots is ongoing, with official results expected on November 4.
The election has resulted in a hung parliament, with Netanyahu's Likud party projected to secure 67 seats, but not enough to govern independently. Coalition talks are expected to be challenging, with several parties within the anti-Netanyahu camp holding sharply different positions on key issues.
Qatar's denouncement of election interference accusations highlights the sensitivity surrounding the election and the potential for external influence. The country's comments are likely to be closely watched as coalition negotiations continue in the coming weeks.
