Combating political
corruption/ Israel
The Finance Ministry is adopting a new set of rules on the use of so-called coalition funds ahead of the election, in a response to allegations of corruption involving Yisrael Beytenu figures.
The new rules, which were decided in cooperation with Attorney-General Yehuda Weinstein and are set to be in place ahead of the next government coalition, require more specificity on how such funds are used.
When coalition agreements are signed, special funds are set aside for use by parties in the coalition. In December, police rounded up dozens of politicians and aides including then-deputy interior minister Faina Kirschenbaum (Yisrael Beytenu) on corruption allegations.
