67,000 Israelis Abroad May Return to Vote in Elections

67,000 Israelis Abroad May Return to Vote in Elections

An estimated 67,000 Israelis living abroad are expected to return to Israel to vote in the upcoming elections, according to the "Fly&Vote" initiative. This initiative helps expatriates with information and planning for their return, as overseas voting is restricted for most citizens. The potential impact of these voters is estimated to be around 1.7 Knesset seats, though the figures are not definitive. The initiative has faced political opposition from the Likud party, leading to a settlement regarding its operations.
