Green Light for Kaplan Flight Initiative: Attorney General Shifts Responsibility

A new initiative by Kaplan-affiliated organizations offers funding for flights and accommodation for opposition voters abroad ahead of the elections.

A new initiative by organizations associated with the Kaplan protest offers funding for flights and accommodation for opposition voters abroad ahead of election day. Likud's legal advisor, Attorney Ilan Bombach, appealed to Supreme Court Justice Noam Solberg, arguing that the initiative constitutes illegal election bribery, as the law prohibits providing benefits to voters. In response, the election attorney general, Yifat Seminovsky, referred Bombach to the relevant authorities or the Central Elections Committee, rather than intervening directly. Bombach criticized the response, stating that clear guidelines are needed rather than chasing individuals. The initiative raises constitutional questions regarding the limits of private funding to influence elections.
