AI Summary
Israelis are unable to cast ballots from abroad, prompting tens of thousands of expatriates to travel back for the upcoming election. At Tel Aviv’s airport, supporters of opposition figure Gadi Eiskot have already gathered at arrivals, awaiting voters. A “Fly and Vote” initiative is coordinating these trips, providing logistical assistance to returning citizens. The effort continues despite a recent petition by Prime Minister Netanyahu’s Likud party to limit such travel, which was rejected. Consequently, many expats are preparing to fly home to participate in the vote.
