Bethlehem Ma’an – Hebrew websites revealed that the cost of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s last trip on board the Zionist Wing plane to the United States amounted to $520,000, or about 2 million shekels.
Channel 7 reported that Netanyahu’s trip to Florida to meet former President Donald Trump cost $73,000 (about NIS 300,000).
Israeli Defense Ministry representative Tami Roditch said, “Maintenance of the aircraft costs 47 million shekels over 5 years, or 8.1 million shekels annually.”
The head of the main aircraft group revealed that the cost of Netanyahu’s trip to the United States on a Wing Zion aircraft saved the country about half a million dollars, compared to El Al’s offer for the price of this complex trip. El Al’s offer was $980,000 without the flight to Florida.
