A funding unit, in Israeli politics, is a measurement of the campaign financing allocated to a party.
Background
[edit]The amount a party is given depends on whether it previously held seats in the Knesset and whether it passed the electoral threshold.[1]
The amount has increased numerous times. The 22nd Knesset allowed an increase in a February 2020 vote.[2] The Knesset intended to approve an increase in June 2022, ahead of the 2022 Israeli legislative election, but the Knesset's pending dissolution delayed it.[3] The Public Committee on Party Financing ultimately approved the increase on 30 June.[4] The 26th Knesset approved an increase in July 2026 in the number of funding units for "supplements" to factions from one to 1.4.[5]
