A legal dispute between the Likud party and two initiatives aimed at facilitating travel for Israelis abroad to vote in upcoming elections has concluded with an agreement. The initiatives, Fly&Vote and Fly&AID, had sought to help Israelis living overseas return to Israel for the elections. Under the settlement, tickets will only be sold for the six flights already offered, at prices determined by the airlines, without any subsidies or discounts from the initiatives.
