Israel's Election Laws Lag Behind Digital Age, Experts Warn

Israel's election laws are outdated and struggle to address the rapid spread of digital propaganda, experts warn. Despite calls for reform since 1999 and proposals in 2017 and 2020, only partial updates have been implemented, leaving a gap between propaganda dissemination and enforcement. Politicians' reluctance to restrict themselves hinders comprehensive legislative changes, though a 2022 amendment improved transparency for online ads. Key challenges include adapting laws to new technologies, tackling coordinated inauthentic activity, and implementing effective financial penalties for violations.
