Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Iran tried to kill one of his sons, according to reports citing his comments. Netanyahu did not publicly identify the specific son in the accounts summarized by the outlets.
The reports say Netanyahu’s elder son, Yair, 35, has spent extended periods in Miami since early 2024 and is reportedly under protection by Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security service. However, at least one outlet notes that it remains unclear which of Netanyahu’s sons is being referenced in Netanyahu’s allegation. The two sources align on the broader claim about an alleged Iranian attempt and on Yair’s location and reported Shin Bet protection, while they provide limited additional details about the timing, evidence, or the alleged method.
Both outlets frame the development as part of broader security concerns involving Netanyahu’s family, but they differ slightly in how explicitly they connect the allegation to a particular son. Neither provides further corroborating information beyond the protective measures reportedly in place.
