Netanyahu takes flak over bed on a plane

JERUSALEM, May 13: enjamin Netanyahu is changing his mid-air sleeping arrangements after a public flap over a $127,000 custom-built bedroom for the Israeli prime minister and his wife on a flight to London last month. Israel’s Channel 10 television reported the sum was tagged onto the 300,000 dollar cost of chartering an El Al Boeing 767 that flew the couple and Netanyahu’s entourage of aides and bodyguards to former British leader Margaret Thatcher’s funeral.
