Yahad Party Chairman Naftali Bennett said that "if state security is truly on Netanyahu's mind, instead of spreading panic among the public, he should declare Qatar an enemy today and expel it from his office and from the State of Israel." He said he trusts Shin Bet chief David Zini and Election Committee Chairman Noam Sohlberg "to thoroughly and swiftly complete the investigation" into suspicions of Qatari involvement in the elections and said: "Suddenly, when it serves Netanyahu's interest, he remembers Qatar and uses it to sow chaos and undermine public confidence in the democratic process."
