Netanyahu has exceeded budget for private residence

Zioinst regime's Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has exceeded the budget for his residences by a million shekels, according to an expenditure report carried by Yediot Aharonot.

The report covers 2012. According to the figures, cited by the Globes financial newspaper, total household expenditure for the Prime Minister's residences in 'Jerusalem' (occupied al-Quds) and Caesarea reached 3.2 million shekels in 2012.

This figure comprised 2.9 million shekels for the official Prime Minister's residence in 'Jerusalem' and 312,000 shekels for his private home in Caesarea.

The Israeli taxpayer must foot this bill even though annual expenditure of only 2.2 million shekels had been approved for the Prime Minister's homes, noted Globes.

At the Prime Minister's home in Caesarea, 20,000 shekels were spent on gardening in 2012 and a further 26,000 shekels on electricity.

The annual water bill totaled 80,000 shekels, mostly for the private swimming pool in the home, including more than 5,500 shekels in taxes for excess use.

Expenditure included 6,000 shekels on scented candles and a further 10,000 shekels on flower arrangements.

While the Prime Minister uses the official residence in 'Jerusalem' for work meetings and hosting dignitaries and events, the Caesarea home is for his private use.

In his Caesarea home, more than 10,000 shekels were spent on changing blinds, and 120,000 shekels on maintenance and cleaning, according to Globes.

Telephone bills amounted to more than 26,000 shekels and 7,600 shekels were spent on a new fridge.

The Prime Minister, according to the report, spent 36,406 shekels dollars on catering in 2012.
