There may and probably will be resignations among Knesseters who become ministers in the new government–thus making room for other members of their parties to join the House. This is usually the practice in the NRP’ and ILP. Meanwhile the elections committee chairman, Justice Haim Cohn, has instructed the police to investigate as promptly as possible allegations of gross misbehavior in the elections among the Negev Bedouin.
The unsuccessful Likud affiliated Bedouin list charged that the Labor affiliated Bedouin list perpetrated several crass frauds–including inserting votes for people who did not come to vote and changing votes which had already been deposited in the ballot box. The charges, If proven, could lead to votes being invalidated among the Bedouin.
