Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sarah are currently living in Jerusalem's luxurious Waldorf Astoria hotel at an estimated cost of £800 a night to the Israeli taxpayer.
The couple are believed to be staying in the hotel for a week, while security renovations are carried out on their apartment on Azza Street in Jerusalem.
Renovations are currently underway on both the official Prime Minister's residence on Balfour Street as well as the Netanyahus' private home.
According to a statement from the Prime Minister's office: “In light of the increasing threats against Prime Minister Netanyahu, security arrangements are being made around his apartment in Jerusalem that require him to stay for several days outside his apartment in a place approved by security officials and the Prime Minister’s Office."
