  • Social media posts show gift fuel cards with claims of distribution to sway votes.

  • The allegations of vote-buying have not been substantiated with evidence so far.

Amidst allegations circulating on social media, Delek Israel is refusing to provide details regarding the usage of its fuel cards. The controversy arose from shared images of gift fuel cards, accompanied by unverified claims that they were distributed to influence voting. These claims have surfaced in the context of the ongoing Ra'am-gate affair.

While the social media posts raise questions about the origin, purchase, and purpose of these cards, Delek Israel stated that an internal review found no unusual refueling data across its stations nationwide. However, the company declined to disclose specific usage details for the cards, citing personal use as the reason for withholding information.

At this stage, the allegations of improper distribution or vote-buying have not been substantiated by concrete data presented in the social media publications. The company's response focuses on the absence of anomalous refueling records, without elaborating on how the cards were utilized.
