Justice Noam Solberg, chair of Israel's Central Elections Committee, issued a ruling Tuesday that subsidizing flights for voters to reach polling stations constitutes election bribery under Israeli law. The ruling, reported by The Zioneer, is the latest in a series of Solberg's decisions on election conduct ahead of the current election campaign. The decision directly addresses a practice some parties used to transport overseas voters, which Likud has previously called 'election bribery.' The ruling does not specify penalties, but brings the practice under the legal definition of bribery, potentially triggering criminal consequences.
