以色列正直党领导人、反对派领袖埃森科特表示：即将卸任的总理内塔尼亚胡及其核心圈子的所作所为，对以色列民主构成了切实、直接且迫在眉睫的威胁。以色列没有任何一个领域能够幸免于腐化、扭曲和被迫屈从，其目的都是服务于内塔尼亚胡个人的政治生存。无论如何，都不能让内塔尼亚胡继续掌控政府哪怕一分钟。无论如何，都不能让以色列在他担任总理期间再次被拖入一轮选举周期。在“卡塔尔门”事件中，内塔尼亚胡曾将卡塔尔特工引入总理办公室。如今，又一起性质更加严重的事件浮出水面：有人涉嫌通过栽赃伪造证据，并在没有有效搜查令或逮捕令的情况下，动用警方针对以色列阿拉伯裔公民，企图操纵选举结果。我呼吁立即对此事展开调查，并要求警方和辛贝特（以色列国家安全总局）立即澄清目前已经披露的相关情况。我将推动成立一个调查委员会，调查总理办公室在选举日的参与和干预情况，以及安全机构在选举前夕和选举期间的行为。

Representative John Moolenaar said former NVIDIA (NVDA.O) CEO Jensen Huang has agreed to closed‑door congressional questioning about his relationship with Alice Huang; committees are still coordinating the date. In addition to the special committee, members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and House Intelligence Committee will take part. Moolenaar said the session aims to determine the extent privileged information may have been accessed and how Alice Huang may have influenced NVIDIA’s policy decisions, and that because Huang is cooperating voluntarily he will not be subpoenaed.
