Netanyahu blasted for lavish personal spending...

A report by Israel's state auditor found on Tuesday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had improperly used state funds for his family, firing up center-left opponents before a parliamentary election next month.

The comptroller's report, drawn up after complaints by members of parliament about spending by Netanyahu and his wife, found a series of infractions, including unrefunded petty cash, a personal water tax charged to the state and an electrician called out at high expense over a Jewish holiday.

Auditor Joseph Shapira concluded that the Netanyahus had run up household costs that were "significantly excessive" and "inconsistent with the basic principles of proportionality, sensibility, thrift and efficiency".

However, the absence of any substantial criminal impropriety and a forthright campaign by Netanyahu's right-wing Likud party against the report looked likely to limit its electoral impact. Full story...
