Against the backdrop of reports about Shin Bet Chief David Zinni's request to investigate Arab lawmakers, Central Elections Committee Chairman Judge Noam Solberg responded to committee members' request to convene for a discussion, writing that "the committee has no authority to discuss investigations conducted by law enforcement agencies, or to demand information and documents from them." He emphasized: "Basic Law: The Knesset stipulates that the election results must be published - tomorrow. No one has any authority not to publish the results."
