Will our government officials get their very own Air Force One?
Sources in the government confirmed that the Finance Ministry is drafting a plan to purchase a special passenger plane to serve the president, prime minister and other senior officials in their official travels abroad.
In order to save expenses the plane would also serve Air Force pilots for fueling purposes whenever it is available.
Details on the venture were given Wednesday during a Knesset plenum meeting.
Former Shin Bet chief Knesset Member Avi Dichter (Kadima) initiated the purchase.
Dichter noted that the reasons for the plan are both security-driven, seeing how it is easier to secure a permanent plane, as well as symbolic.
He explained that it was inappropriate for government officials to be forced to 'take a ride' with foreign airlines or land for re-fueling during long flights.
'Today when the president or prime minister fly overseas it is tantamount to a military operation', the MK said.

Bueno, no quiero ser amarga pero creo que es un gasto excesivo e injustificable.

No se Raquel, creo que no es injustificado. La seguridad contratando aviones de linea extranjeros es una tarea casi imposible y costosisima . Cuando se usan aviones de El Al la cosa es diferente pero no podemos repostar en cualquier parte y volar sobre cualquier país. Es todo un rompecabezas para los chicos de seguridad y exteriores.
A mi entender hace falta, solo espero que no se empiecen a hacer viajecitos pelotudos con la guita de todos.
Yo voto por SI.
es lindo pero lo vendo
