The Prime Minister's Office has revealed that NIS 127 million were allocated for the security fortification of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's residences between 2023 and 2026. A significant portion, NIS 72.5 million, was paid in 2025 alone. This amount is six times higher than the security expenses incurred during 2022, when Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid served as prime ministers.
Four years prior, Prime Minister Netanyahu had criticized his predecessor, stating, "Bennett renovated his private home in Raanana for NIS 50 million. Watch the report by Ayla Hasson." In contrast, the Prime Minister's Office confirmed that the security upgrades for Bennett's home cost approximately NIS 25 million, half of the amount Netanyahu had cited.
The figures highlight a substantial increase in security funding for the Prime Minister's official residences under the current government compared to the previous one.
