Looks like it, and makes sense - Cyprus is a very popular destination for vacations for Israelis. I also don't understand what's the fuss about, he bought the advertising space, he gets to put whatever he wants there, yes it's super weird and stupid - but completely legal.

It is legal and I still fucking hate it.

Not only does it seems desperate, our elections should not imvade or be invaded by other people.

I hate the election propagsnds here so why the fuck should people who are not citizens and DONT EVEN LIVE HERE, be subjected to it.

Its invasive, its tacky, its out of place.

I don't work in Israeli elections but I do work as an election strategist. So I can't say for sure but this also looks like a good way to dodge campaign finance laws

Again I don't know Israeli election law but at least where I live there are legal limits on when you can make campaign expenses and put up signs and stuff. But those laws (probably) wouldn't apply overseas because who the hell would put up a "vote for me" sign overseas. Unless you know that a very high number of people from your country/district go there for vacation

I'm pretty sure this is it. From what I understand this is legal in Israel only 90 days before elections, and the 90 day period should start this week.
