Political commentator and lawyer Sofia Ron-Moria stated in the studio of "Vesti" that attempts by Likud leadership to question the official results of the Knesset elections indicate the start of a large-scale campaign to disrupt the lawful transfer of power. According to her, this is more serious than the storming of the Capitol under Trump, as a systemic public campaign to delegitimize the election results is unfolding in Israel. The expert believes that the version of Qatari interference and voter bribery is used as a formal pretext to refuse to acknowledge defeat. A separate factor of uncertainty remains the behavior of ultra-Orthodox factions, and the split within Netanyahu's camp weakens his position. The decisive stage will be the day the new Knesset is sworn in: the opposition plans to replace Speaker Amir Ohana and advance legislative initiatives that block the path to the prime minister's post for politicians with indictments.
