Likud Member of Knesset Avichai Boaron addressed the appointment of attorney Din Livneh as acting director-general of the Central Elections Committee for the upcoming elections, saying that “the man is clearly politically biased!” He further stated that “Livneh, who is identified with left-wing positions, has recently been going around warning of election fraud and non-recognition of results, and now he is supposed to be the man in charge of the system he cast doubt on.” Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli also protested the appointment, saying it is “a scandalous political appointment that casts a heavy shadow over the integrity of the elections.”
