Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has found himself wrapped in a blanket of controversy over his posh in-flight sleeping arrangements. It comes after reports that he and his wife had a $127,000 bedchamber custom-built for a flight to London.
The sum was tagged onto the $300,000 cost of chartering an El Al Boeing 767 to fly the couple to former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s funeral last month, Israel’s Channel 10 television reported. Netanyahu’s aides and bodyguards were also present on the flight.
