Palestinian Authority denies meddling in Israeli elections

Fatah's Central Committee, Hussein al-Sheikh, denied claims that the Palestinian Authority interfered in the Israeli elections. 

Sheikh was forced to respond to claims of interference after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed the PA interfered in the elections hours before polls close. 

In previous elections, the PA has encouraged Palestinians living inside Israel to vote in the country's elections.
