Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his family are reportedly demanding that security and renovation work at their private residences continue even if Netanyahu concludes his term as prime minister. This unusual request, revealed by Channel 13 News, could cost the state tens of millions of shekels.
The security and renovation work at the Netanyahu family's private homes began in recent years. The family now seeks to ensure the continuation of these works regardless of any change in government. To advance this demand, the family has urgently approached the Ministerial Committee on Shin Bet Affairs, the body responsible for approving such requests.
Sources familiar with the matter indicated that two officials are promoting the request on behalf of Sara Netanyahu. These include Chief of Staff Ido Norden and Dorit Steinmetz, Deputy Director General of the Prime Minister's Office. The financial implications of this demand could be substantial, with estimates suggesting costs in the tens of millions of shekels if approved.
As of now, the request has been submitted to the committee, but no decision has been made regarding the continuation or funding of the works after Netanyahu's potential departure from office. The request comes amid the possibility of a government change, with the Netanyahu family aiming to secure ongoing upgrades to their private residences independent of the Prime Minister's tenure. The Prime Minister's Office has not yet responded to the report.
