The Likud party issued a statement Saturday evening calling the hosting of voters from abroad 'election bribery,' according to the party.
In a statement Saturday evening, the Likud party called the hosting of overseas voters 'election bribery,' without elaborating on specific cases or evidence. The statement echoes concerns the party raised in a July 29 petition to the Central Elections Committee, as The Zioneer reported. In that petition, Likud's legal adviser Ilan Bombach requested a ban on voter hosting, arguing it constitutes bribery. The committee's legal advisor had previously warned that bribery of overseas voters is prohibited.
