In one of its last acts in office, the cabinet approved on Sunday a plan to build an Israeli White House. The cabinet voted in favor of the NIS 650 million plan during its final meeting before Tuesday's election. Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu, a frontrunner in the polls, said the "first decision" to be made by any government formed under his watch would be to cancel the plan.
The plan calls for a single complex to replace the existing office and residence of the prime minister. Both are currently in separate parts of Jerusalem.
