A new report from News 14, published Monday evening, adds that the blocked Student Union campaign involved millions of shekels. The earlier report at 21:01 Jerusalem time noted the block but did not provide a figure. The Student Union has faced scrutiny over a plan to use union funds for a get-out-the-vote campaign ahead of the elections, with critics arguing it amounts to political campaigning using student fees. No further details on the source of the blockage or the specific campaign have been released. As The Zioneer reported in a previous thread, this attempt has drawn criticism across the political spectrum.
