Karachi (News Desk) Before the Israeli elections, the political controversy over the return of foreign voters has intensified. Netanyahu’s Likud party has filed a request to stop the ‘fly and vote’ campaign. It is mandatory for ordinary citizens to come home to vote. A few weeks before the upcoming elections in Israel, a large number of citizens living abroad are preparing to return home to vote, which has intensified the political controversy. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Liquid Party has filed a petition with the Election Commission demanding a halt to the “fly and vote” campaign, arguing that it is a foreign-funded activity that could affect the transparency of the election process. Voting by mail is not available in Israel for ordinary citizens abroad, so they must return in person to vote. According to estimates, Israeli voters abroad make up about 10 percent of the population, with more than 35,000 registered and more than 50,000 expected to return.
