Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s oldest son was urgently evacuated from the United States due to a threat against him \u2014 a week after the Israeli leader accused Iran of trying to assassinate one of his children<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s Shin Bet security agency confirmed there had been a \u201csignificant threat\u201d to Yair Netanyahu, 35, without providing additional details.<\/p>\n

It comes after Netanyahu appeared on Israeli TV last Monday, Aug. 24, and claimed Iran tried to \u201cmurder\u201d one of his children.<\/p>\n

\u201cIran targeted one of my sons. Iran tried to murder him, tried to murder one of my sons,\u201d Netanyahu told\u00a0 Channel 14 while pushing for greater protection measures.<\/p>\n

The prime minister did not clarify which of his two sons had been targeted in the alleged plot.<\/p>\n

Yair Netanyahu moved to Miami in 2023, where he has remained throughout most of Israel\u2019s conflicts in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran.<\/p>\n

Shin Bet granted extended protection services to Netanyahu\u2019s wife, Sara, and their sons, Yair and Avner, beginning in July.<\/p>\n

Yair Netanyahu, who has served as an unofficial adviser to his father and is known for defending his father online, has previously sparked controversy for his social media attacks.<\/p>\n

In 2025, the 35-year-old accused podcaster Joe Rogan of amplifying antisemitism<\/a> while refusing to host the Israeli prime minister on his popular show.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe gave platform to every single neo Nazi antisemite on this plant (sic), but he refuse to have my father on his show, because he knows that he doesn\u2019t stand a chance against him, and all those years of antisemitic propaganda will go to waste,\u201d\u00a0he wrote on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He took aim at Rogan after the podcaster gushed over scandal-ridden Hunter Biden,\u00a0arguing he could be president.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreat wake up call for conservatives to remember Joe Rogan is not a conservative,\u201d he lamented.<\/p>\n

Yair Netanyahu\u2019s Facebook account was also slapped with a 24-hour ban in 2018 following a series of anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian posts.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you know where there are no attacks, in Iceland and Japan. That\u2019s because there are no Muslims,\u201d he wrote in one post.<\/p>\n

In another, he wrote: \u201cThere will never be peace with the monsters in human form known since 1964 as \u2018Palestinians.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s oldest son was urgently evacuated from the United States due to a threat…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":272920,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3],"tags":[41,34,37,6539,7241,933],"class_list":["post-272919","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-iran","tag-benjamin-netanyahu","tag-iran","tag-israel","tag-miami","tag-threats","tag-us-news"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/117195941082909697","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=272919"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272919\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/272920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=272919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=272919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=272919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
