Netanyahu's bill for himself and wife prompts debate
Israeli official data reveals that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, spent approximately 1.43 million shekels on hairdressing and makeup services from 2019 to 2026, with they accounting for about 90% of the total expenditure on these services during that period. The figures show annual fluctuations, with spending reaching 84,000 shekels in 2022, rising to 312,000 shekels in 2023, and peaking at 337,000 shekels in 2025. Expenses also included international trips, which involved high costs during Netanyahu's visits to Washington, where the makeup service during the 2025 visit cost around $13,500. Additionally, about 473,000 shekels were allocated for representation expenses, including clothing and hospitality, with Netanyahu receiving 408,000 shekels of that, compared to 57,000 for other Netanyahu family members. Some details, such as the names of makeup artists, were withheld for security reasons. These figures have ignited controversy in Israel regarding the personal expenses of the Prime Minister's office, especially amid ongoing discussions about transparency and the need to monitor public funds.
