Israeli PM under fire over expenses

THE Israeli prime minister's reported penchant for scented candles is setting off a stink.

Maariv daily on Monday slammed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for spending $US1700 ($A1870) on scented candles, $US23,300 on flower arrangements and $US31,600 on gardening at his official residence in Jerusalem, among other costs totalling about $US909,000 in 2012.

Netanyahu's alleged expenses have been detailed in a document released by a civil liberties group following a freedom of information request.

Israelis have long accused Netanyahu of leading a lavish lifestyle while failing to address the middle class' economic woes.

He came under fire in the past for spending $US127,000 on a special sleeping cabin on a flight to London and for $US3000 spent on ice cream.

Asked about the document, Netanyahu's office said expenses decreased this year.
