Netanyahu’s 3 homes have cost taxpayers NIS 2.7 million over the past 18 months

Taxpayers in Israel have footed a bill of approximately NIS 2.7 million over the last 18 months for the upkeep of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's three official residences. This substantial figure highlights the ongoing costs associated with maintaining multiple properties for the premier.

Digging into the details reveals specific expenditures that have drawn attention. Data indicates that NIS 28,500 was spent on installing just two new bathtubs at one of the residences. Furthermore, nearly NIS 95,000 was allocated for landscaping at another property, underscoring the significant investment in the appearance and amenities of these homes.

The financial accounting also points to unusual patterns in daily spending. Records show a remarkable instance where 76 separate food purchases were made on a single day last year, raising questions about the necessity and scale of catering or provisions for the residences. These figures provide a granular look at the public funds allocated to the prime minister's living arrangements.
