As the war between Israel and Hamas escalates, there are reports the Israeli Prime Minister has evacuated to safer location amid growing public anger towards the country’s leaders.
Reports say the Israeli Prime Minister and his family have relocated to a luxury mansion with a deep nuclear bunker in Jerusalem owned by US billionaire Simon Falic, comes with high-level security.
The development will offer the PM an escape from mounting rage among Israeli citizens who are angry about how Hamas fighters were able to breach Israel’s borders, brutally murder 1,400 men, women and children and grab 220 hostages in the October 7 attacks.
But this is not the first time the couple have stayed at the tycoon’s home. There were questions two years ago about why the couple were staying there when they had their own portfolio of properties.
The PM’s move into the mansion caused outrage in Israel last night.
The decision to move into a residence with a deep nuclear bunker is not a common one in Israel, even among the super-rich.
But with the looming threat from Iran, a handful of the PM’s inner circle have built them.
Last month, shortly before Hamas declared war, the Netanyahus moved into the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Jerusalem. At the time, the Prime Minister’s Office said there were renovations underway at the Jerusalem home to upgrade its security capability.
Prior to the Hamas atrocities, hundreds of thousands of Israelis had been protesting against the premier and his right-wing coalition over plans to reform the judicial system, allegations of cronyism and allowing Jewish settlers to expand into more areas that were supposed to be occupied by Palestinians.
