The police have arrested two Likud Party activists on suspicion of offering to sell votes during the recent party primaries. A court ordered them held under house arrest for the coming week. Testimony on the matter continues to be heard today by police, and more arrests are expected. No word on progress in the investigation into Labor Party election improprieties was released today.



Outgoing Cabinet Secretary and apparently-future MK Gideon Saar had strong words today on the seeming lack of balance: "What about the corruption in Labor during the Burg-Ben-Eliezer election several months ago? What about the 1999 Labor elections when they bought their way into power with money? What about the illegal non-profit associations, the recommended indictments, and the missing polling stations?"
