Though no longer premier, Netanyahu hosts Nikki Haley at official residence

Opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu hosted former US ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley and Christians United for Israel founder John Hagee on Monday at the official Prime Minister’s Residence in Jerusalem, despite no longer being prime minister.

A legal adviser at the Prime Minister’s Office has already recommended that the state stop covering Netanyahu and his family’s utility costs at the residence. Netanyahu was replaced Sunday as prime minister by Naftali Bennett.

Haley, who was appointed envoy to the UN by former US president Donald Trump, later tweeted a photo from the meeting inside the residence, and referred to Netanyahu as “prime minister.”..
