Police issued an official statement rejecting Likud's claims of 'election theft', stating there is no investigative or intelligence support for the allegations. As part of a delegitimization campaign against cooperation with Arab parties, Likud accused that 'the elections were stolen by parties that support the elimination of the Jewish state, through bribery, threats, and forgeries'. Police stated that 'Election Day passed with a minority of unusual incidents in the field of election integrity, even compared to previous elections', and that there was a nearly 40% decrease in the number of incidents related to election integrity. Regarding the arrest of Ra'am activists, police said there are no significant indications and the case is expected to be closed. Shin Bet chief David Zini declared that the elections are legitimate and secure.
