Eisenkot Warns of Netanyahu's Efforts to Challenge Election Results

Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Israeli opposition party "Yesh Atid," warned that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is preparing to challenge the Knesset election results and claim attempts to rig them.

Eisenkot said in a statement: "Netanyahu is in a state of panic and is paving the way for challenging the results."

He added: "We must advance over the Likud party by a large margin, only then will there be no room to raise doubts about the results."

Earlier today, Gadi Eisenkot, Netanyahu's main rival, urged voters to work towards toppling the "worst government" in Israel's history.

The Central Elections Committee had announced that "the voter turnout so far is the highest since 1973," as the Knesset elections continue.

In turn, Israeli Channel 12 reported that "voter turnout in the elections reached 44.9% at 2 PM."
