Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar party, responded to the suspicion of election manipulation by Qatar and said that 'Israel must safeguard the integrity of the elections against any attempt at interference, spin and manipulation, and examine every complaint thoroughly. On the other hand, political actors must not be allowed to exploit the situation and affect the swearing-in date of the 26th Knesset.' Yisrael Beiteinu Chairman Avigdor Liberman was the first among the heads of the change bloc to respond to the affair, saying: 'Justice Solberg's letter is a dramatic and unprecedented event. I call on law enforcement authorities to act quickly to investigate the truth.'
