YNET NEWS: Op-ed: While public is being hit with new tax hikes, Israel's royal couple does as it pleases
We thought nothing could surprise us when it came to the Netanyahus' personal conduct. Well, we were wrong. It turns out that King Bibi and Queen Sara can do as they please.
Even a five-hour flight in first class seems too much for them. Our president, who will celebrate his 90th birthday next month, spent 11 hours flying to South Korea without any special demands. But after all, he is just the president. Bibi is a king. And in a monarchy, when the king and queen get on a plane – it's priceless.
Their royal highnesses' bedchamber cost the Israeli public, which has just been hit with new tax hikes, half a million shekels. Have they no shame? What was the prime minister thinking when he was presented with the bill for his five hours of sleep? NIS 100,000 per hour. That's what people must mean when they say sweet dreams. » | Sima Kadmon | Sunday, May 12, 2013
