Records show Netanyahu residences cost taxpayers NIS 2.7 million in 18 months

Records show that state-funded expenses for the three residences associated with **Benjamin Netanyahu** totalled **NIS 2.7 million** over the past 18 months, according to expenditure records reviewed by **The Times of Israel**. The detailed entries include maintenance, improvements and numerous food purchases tied to the properties used by the prime minister.

The records list specific items and amounts: **NIS 28,500** was paid for two new bathtubs at one residence, while nearly **NIS 95,000** was recorded for landscaping work at another property. The files also note an unusually high volume of catering and food charges, including **76 food purchases** recorded on a single day last year, with individual entries covering a range of suppliers and services.

The expenditures were attributed to state funding for residences occupied or used by the prime minister and his household. The itemised invoices and payment records reviewed by the media outlet include vendor names, dates and amounts, and are presented as part of routine accounting for official properties and services. The reporting does not indicate changes in security-related spending, which is generally handled through separate channels and is often classified for operational reasons.

The Times of Israel report states the information stems from official expenditure records; it does not include an immediate response from **Netanyahu’s** office. Coverage of the records has prompted public attention to the scale and detail of state payments for personal and household-related items connected to the prime minister’s residences. Any follow-up, including clarifications from the Prime Minister’s Office or additional disclosures from state accounting bodies, would provide further context on the authorization and oversight of the listed expenditures.
