Netanyahu’s son Yair meets with US Vice President Vance

Yair Netanyahu, son of “Israeli” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, met with the US Vice President JD Vance in Washington.

“Israel never had a better friend in the White House than the Trump administration!” Yair wrote on his X account.

Yair Netanyahu is the eldest son of Benjamin Netanyahu. He pursued studies in Theatre at the High School for the Arts in Jerusalem and later served in the “Israeli” military Spokesperson's Unit.

He has been an active figure in “Israeli” politics, notably assisting his father's 2015 election campaign by producing a viral video targeting Arab voter turnout, which drew both support and criticism. ​

In recent years, Yair has maintained a significant presence on social media, where his posts have sparked controversy. In 2018, he was temporarily banned from Facebook for hate speech, and in 2021, Twitter and Instagram also suspended his accounts following provocative content.

Despite his parents' requests to limit his online activity, Yair continued to post, leading to public disputes and legal challenges. ​

In 2023, Yair faced criticism for residing in Miami, Florida, while his father was in “Israel”.
