Netanyahu's flight to the UN cost $1.3m

[Mari333]

How much did it cost to fly Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his entourage to New York for his appearance at the United Nations General Assembly? $1.3 million.

The price tag is almost twice that offered by the next most expensive airline bidding in the tender for the trip.

1. Why just Netanyahu?

Why not a rundown of all of them?

[obliviously]

4. Good point!

2. Might have something to do with El Al's safety record.

I wonder how this compares with the expense of using Air Force One, as US presidents are accustomed to doing.

3. It was said in the article

that for security reasons they needed a non-stop flight. We do that for our speaker of the house. I see nothing wrong with it here or there. Thats the price we pay to conduct government business!

5. Who paid for it? nt

6. Rumor has it that he chopped down a whole forest of Palestinian olive trees to pay for it.
