Considered a close ally of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, cosmetics heir Ron Lauder is a staunch supporter of Republican causes and right-wing groups in Israel. While he has occasionally donated to Democrats, the overwhelming majority of his campaign contributions go to Republican candidates.
iVoteIsrael is registered in the United States as a 501(c)4 nonprofit, a status that does not allow for tax-deductible donations but does give it more leeway to conduct political activities. By US law, it does not have to divulge donor rolls because of the tax bracket under which it is registered.
