**Likud Statement:**
The “Ra’am-gate” scandal is an earthquake. **The elections in Israel were stolen!**
Justice Solberg’s remarks about the involvement of foreign actors who interfered in the elections and bribed voters to support the Arab parties are an unprecedented shock.
This is **an attack on democracy** aimed at enabling a foreign takeover of the Knesset, the Islamization of Israel, and the overthrow of right-wing rule in order to bring about the retreat and defeat of the IDF on all fronts—first and foremost, Iran.
Now that it has become clear that foreign actors attempted to take control of the Knesset, it is obvious that no Zionist party must cooperate with Ra’am or the Joint List, replace the Speaker of the Knesset using votes bought with cash, or establish a government that would endanger Israel.
We demand immediate action, using every means available to the Shin Bet and the police, to investigate these crimes.
