Natanyahu does not go abroad for pleasure. He goes as an emissary of this country and his People. He goes to fund raising organizations, he does work which can be classified as "avodat kodesh" We should be thankful for two things. One, that there are Jewish tycoons who are prepared to fund his trips and two, that they are prepared to do it in style as befitting a PM. As far as his wife is concerned all I have to say is that a man needs his wife and partner beside him. Anybody who wants to deny him that is a hypocrite.

Bibi being by nature an idiot is going around freely with his dwarf spouse to far away destinations using israelis people tax money to pay for his desires. Would he have been married to Angelina Joli I would understand but taking around his monkey wife I object. This is becoming Bibi's circus.

Livni is nothing more than a Patsy Puppet for the United States Government.

i have seen netanyahu on one of those trips, he certainly represented israel

An hour ago a sound of explosion was heard. It's a very suitable moment to accuse the PM. He must take a crucial decision on Gaza. Instead, those in Kadima want him to think mostly on how to prove that he is not a camel. Hamas, Jihad and other cannibals are satisfied. Who they prefer to see as a new PM? Is it their colorless Tzipi? Poor Israel!

Tzipi can not win Bibi and sees no hope in next elections. So, now they are trying to dig up nanny, cleaning woman and free gifts. If tomorrow i want to give a gift to Bibi, is it a state business? It's my money and my wish. I was hoping much better work from channel 10. They find this specific day to dig up this scandal when whole country is bumbarred with scuds and rockets. Please talk about unity and not about this cheap stuff. Disappointed by media and Tzipi.

She is desperate to topple Bibi and bring on an election she intends to fight as little miss whiter than white who is going to solve all our problems because she has never screwed up as PM the way Barak & Bibi did without actually mentioning the fact she has never been PM.. If she can pin corruption on Bibi not only is there a chance he will be forced out but it will be good for her whiter than white image.

Kadima, what a bunch of imbeciles...focus on what's important, like the 5th column of arabs squatting on Jewish land, the so called "palestinian" arabs stealing jewish land and promoting terror on a daily basis..

Who paid for the MKs from Kadima to attend the JSTREET conference in Washington, DC. Kadima should be investigated. What a bunch of desperate fools.

Even if all the allegations are true, unless there is direct evidence that such gifts corresponded to influence in the government, then nothing illegal happened. I wish I had friends who would pay for a $27,000 vacation for me.

Netanyahu is as good as israel is going to get. Sharon was a total failure as a prime minister. Sharon promised security and gave israel insecurity. Sharon a puppet of the leftist press. Olmert, for him being PM was a sideline to his main business of collecting cash for himself and his family. Olmert, because the Israeli army was not properly trained and prepared lost the lebanon war. Livni is a total incompetent and congenital liar. Tsipi where is this almost peace that she keeps talking about. Nothing but a wet dream.

So what if the billionaires paid for it!

Corruption is not uncommon in almost any country including my own. That said, Israel must wake up to the fact that these stories are repetitious and indicate a strong pattern of misgovernance across party lines. Israel must stop claiming to be a beacon of democracy in the Middle East until it cleans itself up. A government for sale to the wealthy, who are extracting an ever increasing share of Israel's collective wealth year after year, is not a beacon--it is a scandal.
