Zehut Leader Moshe Feiglin Alleges Widespread Ballot Sabotage

Hours before polls close in the 26th Knesset elections, Zehut party leader Moshe Feiglin released a video warning of alleged attempts to sabotage voting for the joint slate of Zehut and Religious Zionism. Feiglin reported receiving numerous accounts of tampered ballot slips, noting instances where slips were missing, defaced, torn, or intentionally folded to invalidate votes.

Feiglin suggested these disruptions stem from his party's growing momentum and drawing voters away from political rivals, though he provided no specific locations or evidence identifying those responsible. Amid reports of missing ballots across multiple polling stations, other political factions, including Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar! party and Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zelecha's reserve and economic movement, also lodged complaints with the Central Elections Committee.

Addressing supporters, Feiglin outlined steps to take in the event of missing or damaged slips, reminding voters that blank white slips marked clearly with a blue pen and the designated Hebrew letter remain valid under Central Elections Committee guidelines. He urged voters to inspect their ballots carefully to ensure they are intact, while election authorities note that minor marks or folds do not automatically result in disqualification unless intended as an identifying sign.
