India will always wait - Israel won't: The young people who will stop their big trip to vote

The 'Jumping to Vote' initiative helps young Israelis on their post-army trip in the East return to Israel to vote in the 2026 elections, by consolidating demand for flights and reducing costs. The organizers approached airlines but received no response from Israeli carriers.

The 'Jumping to Vote' initiative brings together hundreds of young Israelis currently on their big trip in the East, helping them return home to vote in the 2026 elections. The initiative, founded by Yahali, a 23-year-old from Tel Aviv, works to consolidate demand for round-trip flights from every popular destination, aiming to lower costs and ease the return. Yahali and his friends approached airlines requesting fair pricing, but according to them, they received no response from Israeli carriers, while Ethiopian Airlines has already replied. The article also interviews Noga from Modi'in and Gali, who is in India, sharing their decision to return. The initiative emphasizes that it does not seek funding or subsidies to avoid election bribery, and operates without political affiliation. Arkia stated that it does not plan its flight schedule based on elections.
