A member of the Knesset from the Joint List faction is under investigation on suspicion of receiving hundreds of thousands of shekels in cash allegedly originating from Qatari funding during Israel's election campaign, The Jerusalem Post and Makor Rishon reported.

According to the reports, the probe is being conducted amid suspicions of foreign interference in the election. However, investigators noted that at this stage they have no evidence indicating what the money was actually used for, and it remains unclear what findings suggest the funds came from Qatar.

The identity of the lawmaker and further details regarding the investigation have not yet been released.
