Records from Israel’s State Comptroller Office and collated by Buzzfeed.com show that Mr Netanyahu raised around 1m shekels (roughly £166,000), for his primary campaign.

Menachem Hofnung, the Herbert Samuel Professor of Political Science at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, told The Independent that Mr Netanyahu had worked hard to maintain a network of supporters in the US over the past 25 years.

The brothers also own the French fashion design house Christian Lacroix and the license to distribute Perry Ellis brand fragrances and cosmetics.

The three Falic brothers and 12 of their family members have made 682 political donations to politicians including ranging from Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann, Eric Cantor and Charles Schumer, according to the JTA.org website.

For three generations, the Schottenstein family of Columbus, Ohio, has ruled over a retailing empire that includes brands such as American Eagle Outfitters and DSW shoes.

Mr Schottenstein, who has denied the allegations, is also a well-known corporate executive who was once nominated to be one of Time’s 100 most influential people by Ohio basketball star LeBron James.
