Despite repeated assurances that the United States has no intention of interfering in Israel’s elections, suspicious evidence appears to link the White House with a nonprofit organization working to defeat Prime Minister Netanyahu’s Likud party.
Victory 2015, also known as V15, is currently embroiled in an Israeli political scandal as the courts attempt to determine whether it has illegally collaborated with Likud’s main rival, the left-wing Zionist Camp coalition.
V15 was created by an American nonprofit organization called the OneVoice Movement, which is led by leftists Daniel Lubetzky and S. Daniel Abraham. Palestinian Authority President Abbas’ son serves on the advisory board of OneVoice. The organization has openly expressed it’s goal for regime change in Israel, and has spent approximately $2.6 million on funding V15’s campaign against Netanyahu.
Recently it was discovered that the US State Department gave a grant to OneVoice, and former Obama campaign staffers now consult for the organization. Whether these things are merely unfortunate coincidences or evidence of a deliberate scheme has not been proven, but many members of Congress are concerned that the Administration is meddling in Israel’s elections.
