US report: Grant expired before OneVoice moved into politics
The US report into the funding for a left-wing Israeli group finds that the grant given to the OneVoice organization had expired before it became politically active in the Knesset elections in March 2015.
“OneVoice Israel fully complied with the terms of its State Department grants,” the report says. “OneVoice designed and executed a grassroots and media campaign to promote public support for Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations for the Department, as it said it would… The Subcommittee found no evidence that OneVoice spent grant funds to influence the 2015 Israeli elections.”
The group worked alongside the V15 organization to oust Netanyahu as prime minister in last year’s vote.
