The Likud party has withdrawn its petition against the Fly&Vote initiative, which facilitates travel for Israelis abroad to vote in elections. The decision came after the Central Elections Committee imposed significant restrictions on the project's operations. Under the new rules, Fly&Vote will be prohibited from subsidizing airfare, offering discounts, or providing any other financial benefits related to election travel.

Furthermore, the AID Coalition, the organization behind Fly&Vote, is barred from offering participants any ancillary services that could be construed as an advantage for election participation.
