According to a report, candidates in the Likud primaries will receive approximately 350,000 shekels each from the state. The report specifies that sitting MKs who are not elected to the next Knesset will not be required to refund the money, while non-MK candidates are eligible for funding only if they are elected and actually serve as MKs. Additionally, non-MK candidates may raise donations of up to 2,300 shekels per household. The Zioneer has previously covered related aspects of Likud primary funding, including reports on MKs receiving millions even if primaries were canceled and the near-doubling of primary budgets.
