In a recent audit, Israeli State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman found both the Likud and Labor parties noncompliant regarding their faction accounts for 2024, resulting in the withholding of NIS 150,000 from Likud and NIS 75,000 from Labor. The audit assessed the financial operations of 17 Knesset factions and identified that while 15 factions passed the audit, Likud's membership-registration process raised significant concerns. Englman noted that Likud failed to adequately verify the identities of party members, with a substantial number of credit card and bank account payments linked to multiple registrants, potentially indicating illegal practices under Israeli law. Labor, on the other hand, was found to have accepted a prohibited loan through a party corporation, which Englman deemed a violation of financing regulations. The audit also highlighted broader financial issues among Knesset factions, with 10 factions reporting a total deficit of NIS 81.2 million and several defunct parties failing to repay outstanding debts to the state treasury.
