Transportation Ministry weighs limiting election flights over anti-Netanyahu voting fears - report
Ministry officials reportedly believe that Minister Miri Regev may be aiming to reduce the number of flights for Israelis returning to vote, as many may be likely to vote against PM Netanyahu
Assessment
The Transportation Ministry is reportedly considering restrictions on flights during election periods, based on the assumption that Israelis returning from abroad would vote against Prime Minister Netanyahu. This raises serious questions about the politicization of a government ministry and the potential suppression of voting access. The key development to watch is whether any formal proposal emerges and how the legal system or public pressure responds to such a move.
