Did the resources of the "Standing Together" association help candidates in the elections?

The organization 'Ad Kan' claims that footage it obtained indicates the alleged use of resources from the 'Standing Together' association to promote lists in the 2023 local elections. According to the organization, activists were aware of the separation requirement and worked to obscure the connection. 'Standing Together' rejected the claims.

The organization 'Ad Kan' published an investigation that it claims indicates the alleged use of resources from the 'Standing Together' association to promote candidates and lists in the 2023 local elections. The investigation is based on footage obtained by an undercover agent, including recordings of senior activists in the movement. In one recording, campaign manager Omri Goren explains why the movement operated under the brand 'Purple City' in Tel Aviv and Haifa, to distance the electoral campaign from the association's activities. 'Purple City' candidate Itamar Avneri was recorded explaining to activists what is allowed and forbidden to say regarding the connection. In another recording, activist Uri Voltman refers to the use of the association's databases. The CEO of 'Ad Kan', Avichai Shorshan, called on the Registrar of Associations and the police to investigate. 'Standing Together' responded that this is an attempt to harm Jewish-Arab partnership, and that there was a complete separation between the association and the lists.
