Israel's Election Chief Says Probe Will Not Undermine Result
Israel's elections chief says an inquiry into irregularities will not undermine the result. The Shin Bet security agency opened the probe last week at the chief's request. It is checking whether the Arab Israeli party Raam received money from Qatar, which both Qatar and the party deny.
Context
Raam is an Arab party in Israel's Knesset, and Qatar is a Gulf state that has long mediated in Gaza talks. Foreign money in campaigns is a sensitive issue, so this probe draws attention.
