Shin Bet asks to investigate three Arab politicians over suspected foreign interference in elections

Israel ·

Israel's public broadcaster reported that Shin Bet head David Zini asked for an investigation of three prominent Arab politicians: Mansour Abbas, head of the United Arab List, Ahmad Tibi, head of the Arab Movement for Change, and the leader of a third party. The broadcaster said the request was made although there was no evidence allowing such an investigation, within suspicions of foreign interference in Knesset elections.

Shin Bet is Israel's internal security service, and Arab citizens make up about a fifth of Israel's population, with several Arab parties represented in the Knesset.
