JERUSALEM (The Thursday Times) — Israel ki election committee ke chairman ne Shin Bet security service ko hukm diya hai ke woh vote par asar andaz hone ke liye foreign funding ke "sangeen shubhat" ki tehqeeqat kare, jabke juzvi nataij mein Wazir-e-Azam Benjamin Netanyahu ka bloc aage hai lekin ab bhi aksariyat se kafi peechhe hai.
BBC ke mutabiq 93% ballots ki ginti ke baad Netanyahu ki Likud aur us ki intehai dayen bazu aur ultra-Orthodox ittehadi jamaatein 120 rukni Knesset mein 53 seats hasil karti nazar aa rahi thin. Sabiq army chief Gadi Eisenkot ki jamaat Yashar aur teen doosri Yahoodi opposition jamaatein 48 seats ki taraf barh rahi thin, jabke Arab qiyadat wali jamaatein record 19 seats ki taraf ja rahi thin. Hukumat banane ke liye 61 seats chahiye.
Hukkam ne Jumerat ko 4 lakh 80 hazar tak absentee ballots ki ginti shuru ki, jo faujiyon, sifaratkaron, hospitals mein dakhil mareezon aur doosre aise logon ne dale thay jo polling stations tak nahin pahunch sakte thay, aur yeh ab bhi seats ki hatmi taqseem badal sakte hain.
"Foreign funding"
Central Elections Committee ke chairman Justice Noam Sohlberg ne Shin Bet ko hidayat ki ke woh us muamle ki chhaan been kare jise unhon ne "Israeli mafadat ke khilaf sargarm bairooni anasir ki taraf se foreign funding ke zariye najaiz asar-o-rasookh" ke "sangeen shubhat" qarar diya. Unhon ne koi tafseel nahin batayi, taham Haaretz ne aik zariye ke hawale se bataya ke committee ke samne yeh dawa pesh kiya gaya tha ke Qatar ne Arab abadiyon mein turnout barhane ki koshishon ke liye funding ki.
Likud, jis ne koi saboot pesh kiye baghair Arab jamaaton par election "churane" ka ilzam lagaya hai, ne ise "jamhooriyat par hamla jis ka maqsad Knesset par foreign control mumkin banana hai" qarar diya. Balad ke chairman Sami Abu Shehadeh, jin ki jamaat Joint List ka hissa hai, ne kaha ke harne wala fareeq "nasal parastana khooni buhtan ghar raha hai" aur security idaron se nateeja ulatne ka mutalba kar raha hai.
Aage hafton ke muzakrat
Sadr Isaac Herzog ne kaha ke unhein agle hafte sarkari nataij ki tawaqqo hai, jis ke baad woh har dhare se mashawrat karenge aur hukumat banane ka sab se zyada imkan rakhne wale leader ko dawat denge, aur is amal mein hafte lag sakte hain. Unhon ne 77.7% turnout ko saraha, jo do dahaiyon se zyada arse mein sab se zyada hai, aur jamaaton par zor diya ke woh aik aur election se bachne ke liye har mumkin koshish karein.
Netanyahu ne "aik mazboot right-wing qaumi hukumat" ka mutalba kiya hai aur aisi hukumat ko mustarad kar diya hai jo "anti-Zionist Arab jamaaton" par inhisar kare, jabke Eisenkot ka kehna hai ke awam ne tabdeeli ke haq mein vote diya hai. Arab jamaatein kingmaker ban sakti hain, lekin aik ke siwa tamam Yahoodi jamaaton ne un ke saath kaam na karne ka ahd kiya hai. Netanyahu ka bloc rukhsat hone wali Knesset mein apni seats se 15 kam seats ki taraf ja raha hai.
