The Israeli Prime Minister's Office has disclosed data on expenditures for strengthening and protecting the residences of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. From 2023 to 2026, 127 million shekels were spent on these purposes. The increase is particularly notable in 2025, when expenses reached 72.5 million shekels — six times more than in 2022, when the government was led by Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid. The article also provides context: about four years ago, Netanyahu criticized his predecessor Bennett for spending on a private home in Ra'anana, citing a sum of 50 million shekels. However, the Prime Minister's Office confirmed that about 25 million shekels were spent on strengthening and protecting Bennett's home — half of what Netanyahu claimed. Thus, the article notes a discrepancy between Netanyahu's statement and official data.
