The Likud is making a big deal about this V15 - the group of campaign advisers from the US that came to assist in the "Just Not Bibi" campaign. Corrupt, illegal, and immoral are some of the words being thrown about to describe the V15 involvement.
I don't know the details of the laws related to foreign funding or foreign involvement in party campaigns, so I do not know the nuances of how they play the legal issues. I won't comment on "illegal".
Unless there is something clearly illegal going on though, I don't see why the Likud is making such a big deal of this. The Likud has hired foreign advisers in the past, as have other parties. Maybe it is worthy of debate whether it is moral or right to involve foreigners in our local elections. Maybe the public should speak out and say we don't want to be influenced by foreigners with perhaps ulterior motives or concerns other than our best interests at heart.
Parties that fund-raise abroad and hire foreign advisers and consultants should not be criticizing other parties that do the same.
