Following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s claim that Iran had “attempted to assassinate one of his sons,” U.S. media reported on the 25th that Benjamin Netanyahu‘s eldest son, Yair, became an Iranian “assassination target” while living in U.S. Florida.
On October 13, 2025, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (former) shared a car with visiting U.S. President Trump at Israel‘s Ben-Gurion Airport.
The U.S. News Network reported on December last year, citing U.S. law enforcement sources, that Israeli intelligence had learned that Yair, who lives near Miami, has become an Iranian “assassination target” and informed the U.S. about this information.
According to the above source, Yair‘s security work was specially responsible, and he was immediately asked to leave. Yair hurriedly left the United States and returned to Israel. Yair, who is now 35 years old, is still in Israel.
Benjamin Netanyahu has two sons. In an interview with Israeli media on the 24th, he claimed that Iran had “attempted to assassinate one of his sons”. However, he did not reveal which son it was, nor did he specify when the incident occurred.
Information about an Iranian attempt to assassinate Benjamin Netanyahu‘s son has been censored and suppressed by the Israeli military over the past few months, according to Israeli media reports. Even if Benjamin Netanyahu loses the upcoming parliamentary election, the Reich Main Security Office (Shin Bet) will provide Benjamin Netanyahu and his family members with at least five years of security protection.
