The expansion of the Israeli government’s protection for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s family has sparked controversy due to its high cost, exceeding one million dollars annually. The protection includes his wife and children for up to five years after the next elections. The decision to extend the security detail was approved based on recommendations from the Shin Bet agency, aiming to ensure their safety amid concerns that they could lose protection if Netanyahu loses the election, especially after previous disruptions in 2021. The costs are precisely estimated, with approximately 390,000 shekels paid monthly, in addition to expenses for Yair Netanyahu's protection outside Israel, particularly in Miami, which is estimated to cost around 2.5 million shekels annually. These measures have sparked criticism due to their high costs, debates over the duration of the protection, and the financial burden on the state.
