The complication that may require Saar to return NIS 300,000 from donations
New Hope raised over NIS 400,000 from dozens of private citizens in donations to the campaign.
However, due to the connection with Derech Eretz, which is represented in the Knesset and entitled to party funding, it is possible that it exceeded the legal limit - which would make the donations illegal.

In recent weeks, the New Hope Party has been facing a legal-budgetary entanglement, in which they may be required to return hundreds of thousands of shekels to private citizens who contributed to the party's campaign.
Walla!
It became known that after the party raised more than NIS 400,000 for the campaign from donations from private citizens, it became clear that more than half of them may exceed the ceiling allowed by law, and may be considered illegal donations.
From the Walla!
It appears that this is a total of about NIS 300,000: According to the State Comptroller's website, Gideon Saar's new party has raised NIS 438,000 from 61 private citizens since January - but about 50 of the donations exceeded the legal limit of NIS 2,300 per person.

The source of the complication is the combination of Gideon Saar's forces with the Derech Eretz party of Yoaz Handel and Zvika Hauser.
The Party Financing Law limits the party's allowable contribution from private citizens to NIS 2,300 in the election year - but in the case of a new party, which is not represented in the outgoing Knesset, the allowable amount is up to NIS 11,500.
To date, New Hope - which is running in the 24th Knesset elections for the first time - has raised donations according to this limit, and more than half of the donations raised from private citizens were in the region of NIS 10,000-11,000.
However, Saar's agreement with Derech Eretz of Hauser and Handel maintained the faction's independent status, as it would be represented in the current Knesset.
Therefore, ostensibly, the limit on donations can be calculated according to the continuum of an existing faction, which receives funding from parties in the outgoing Knesset, and not as a new party.
If so, all donations collected over NIS 2,300 - about 50 in number - will become illegal donations and the party will have to return them.
According to political sources, New Hope is examining the issue and legal status of the donations in front of the State Comptroller's Office.
The party said in response that they "thank many Israeli citizens who have turned to new hope and want to donate to bring change to Israel and replace the government. In new hope, they have always acted on the issue of donations according to professional and legal advice. Instructions from the State Comptroller's Office. "

The total amount of donations raised by Tikva New from private citizens to date is about 438,000 shekels.
In any case, this is a very small part of the overall budget of the campaign, which is mostly financed through loans from the state in exchange for presenting bank guarantees.
While existing parties are eligible for election funding based on the number of seats in the outgoing Knesset, new lists receive loans from the state, which they repay after the election from the parties' funding funds after entering the Knesset.
The large loans are signed by Arabs, usually more or less well-known businessmen and capital tycoons in the economy.
According to the State Comptroller's website, Saar raised guarantees totaling NIS 15.5 million from businessmen such as Ephrad Akirov, Yonatan Kolber and Yonatan Greenwald.
In addition, Derech Eretz received NIS 7 million from the Knesset based on its representation in the current Knesset.
The loans and guarantees New Tikva is supposed to repay after the election, when it will be entitled to election financing of NIS 1.388 million a year for each of its members who will be elected to the Knesset.
