You really cannot make this up.
The huge Arab jihadi voter turnout might be directly linked to illegal foreign influence.
For the past few years, Israelis were bombarded with “Qatargate” allegations of Qatari connections surrounding Netanyahu, portrayed as an enormous scandal that could finally help bring him down.
Yet at the very same time, Gadi Eizenkot, the political Left and the mainstream media were relentlessly pressuring Netanyahu to accept the Qatar-mediated hostage deal they demanded, even when it meant ending the war before Hamas was destroyed and risking leaving Hamas in power in Gaza.
Think about the irony.
The political left accused Netanyahu’s people of “working for Qatar,” while politically they were doing Qatar’s work for it: pressuring Israel to accept an outcome that would have served Qatar’s interests at the expense of Israel’s, ending the war with its Hamas ally still ruling Gaza.
Netanyahu resisted that pressure because Israel had a war to win.
And now, after years of “Qatargate,” we may be facing an entirely different question about alleged Qatari attempts to influence Israel elections.
An election Qatargate…
And this one could potentially undermine the very election results the political Left was hoping would remove Netanyahu.
Here is what we actually know.
Shin Bet chief David Zini presented information to Supreme Court Justice Noam Sohlberg, chairman of the Central Elections Committee, that was reportedly considered extraordinarily serious. Sohlberg then formally instructed Zini to investigate suspicions of improper foreign financing and possible election bribery by foreign actors operating against Israel’s interests. He demanded findings within a week because of the election timetable.
And this morning Israeli journalist Amit Segal reported that the country at the center of the suspicion is Qatar.
According to the report, investigators are examining suspicions that large sums originating in Qatar were transferred to influence voting in Israel’s Arab community, with some allegedly traveling through channels previously used to transfer terrorist funds.
Separately, Channel 14 reported suspicions that millions of shekels originating in enemy states may have been used to buy votes, following the arrest of three suspects in the Negev and the seizure of cash envelopes and Ra’am ballots.
Now think about the irony.
After years of the political Left screaming Qatargate to damage Netanyahu, Israel could conceivably end up confronting an actual election scandal involving suspected Qatari money intended to influence the vote and benefit the political bloc trying to remove Netanyahu.
And if the investigation ultimately establishes that illegal foreign money materially corrupted enough votes to affect mandates, the consequences could become enormous.
Imagine the ultimate political irony: an election rerun caused by Election Qatargate after years of Qatargate being used to try to defeat Netanyahu.
And imagine what might happen in such a rerun after Israelis discovered that foreign actors hostile to Israel allegedly poured money into influencing their democratic elections.
The political Left might discover that its supposed victory with the help of the jihadi Muslim population was the worst thing that could have happened to it.
But we are not there yet.
The investigation must determine what actually happened, and most importantly, whether any wrongdoing was extensive enough to affect the election result.
But after everything Israel has lived through these past few years, I have learned never to underestimate one thing:
God has a sense of humor 
This election has also forced Israel to confront a question it has avoided for far too long: what should a Jewish democracy do with citizens and political leaders who actively support jihad and the destruction of Israel? I have been raising this issue for years. Now, this election has finally forced it onto the national agenda, where Israeli society can no longer afford to ignore it.
Citizenship carries rights, including the extraordinary right to help determine who governs Israel, but it also carries obligations.
Israeli Arabs who are loyal citizens must enjoy those rights fully. But all those who support jihad and the destruction of Israel must have their citizenship stripped and deported.
Israel cannot be afraid to exercise those powers, with full due process. At the same time, the next government must advance judicial reforms that ensure the Supreme Court enforces Israel’s election laws, so that parties or candidates legally determined to support armed struggle or the destruction of the State of Israel cannot participate in elections.
This is not about being Arab. It is about loyalty versus active support for Israel’s enemies.
And perhaps the allegations surrounding this election, after they are ultimately proven, will turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Instead of merely arguing over another mandate or another coalition, Israel is finally being forced to confront the jihadi population that exploits our democracy.
Sometimes Hashem turns what initially looks like a crisis into the wake-up call a nation desperately needed.
Strengthen your faith in God and help me share these truths.
Am Yisrael Chai!!!
