The Prime Minister's Office, following a petition by the Freedom of Information Movement, revealed detailed data on the costs of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trip to Washington in February of this year. The trip, which lasted only two days, included a dramatic meeting in the White House Situation Room with US President Donald Trump, during which the launch of Operation 'Roar of the Lion' was essentially agreed upon, beginning 17 days later. During the meeting, Netanyahu brought then-Mossad chief David Barnea into an encrypted video call, who presented a plan to overthrow the Iranian government. The total cost of the trip stood at approximately 1.5 million shekels, of which about 1.2 million shekels were for the Wing of Zion aircraft and about 313,000 shekels in additional expenses. Netanyahu, his wife, and his son Yair stayed at Blair House at the White House's expense, while the delegation stayed in two hotels at a cost of about 153,000 shekels. The breakdown includes expenses of about 4,600 shekels for makeup, about 4,600 shekels for hair styling, and about 8,887 shekels for a doctor's escort from Sheba Medical Center. The director of the Freedom of Information Movement, Attorney Hidi Negev, criticized the Prime Minister's Office's conduct in ignoring freedom of information requests.
