After significant alarm from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other top officials, Israeli television reported Friday that two election interference investigations involving the pair of Arab-led parties were falling apart.

The first case in which three Bedouin activists were arrested for allegedly trying to bribe voters to back the Ra’am party is expected to be closed unless new evidence is uncovered, according to Channel 12 news.

The second case involving an alleged foreign funding effort to back the Joint List is also turning out to be very different from what was initially described and has led to a major crisis of confidence in Netanyahu loyalist and Shin Bet chief David Zini, the report said.
