Police Complaint Filed Over Likud Be’er Yaakov Recount
Published
A police complaint became public Wednesday over alleged forgery and fraudulent concealment connected to the Likud recount in Be’er Yaakov. Walla and Ynet identified Likud director-general David Sharan, Haim Katz and Reshef Security as targets. Reports said the recount moved Gila Gamliel from 25th to 35th place; Gamliel also alleged that another candidate gained 170 votes between the publication of results and disclosure of protocols. Katz denied intervening or falsifying results and responded by publishing Lahav 433’s Lod address. Final party results were expected after appeals on Thursday.

Difference in reporting
Sources factually disagree on who filed the complaint and when the recount ranking took effect: Israel Hayom and Walla describe Gila Gamliel as the complainant, while Ynet and Bhol name her husband; reports also differ on whether Gamliel’s 35th-place position was already operative. The remaining facts are uniform: a complaint was filed over alleged forgery and fraudulent concealment in the Be’er Yaakov recount, naming Haim Katz, David Sharan and Reshef Security.
