Israel's election chief requests Shin Bet probe into foreign interference allegations

Israel's Central Elections Committee chairman called for a Shin Bet investigation into 'serious suspicions' of foreign interference in Tuesday's election, including alleged funding linked to Qatar. The request comes as final results show neither Netanyahu's bloc nor the opposition secured a majority, with Arab parties holding unprecedented kingmaker power with 19 seats.
