Newly released information reveals that Israeli taxpayers footed a bill of NIS 31.5 million (approximately $8.5 million) for Shin Bet protection services for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife and two sons between 2018 and 2023.
The data, obtained through a freedom of information request by Hatzlacha, a civil society organization, shows that the Shin Bet spent NIS 11 million protecting Avner Netanyahu, NIS 10 million on Yair Netanyahu, and NIS 10.5 million safeguarding Sara Netanyahu.
The information also highlights that during the Bennett-Lapid government, NIS 3 million was spent protecting Bennett’s children and NIS 4 million on safeguarding his wife Gilat.
Netanyahu has faced criticism for insisting that his adult children continue to receive Shin Bet protection, with Yair Netanyahu receiving over NIS 1 million in protection services last year despite living in Miami, US.
