Israel says Netanyahu’s son ‘urgently evacuated’ from the US after threat

Yair Netanyahu, a podcaster and right-wing activist, had been living in the US for several years prior to his departure. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s eldest son was flown back to Israel from the United States after a threat to his life, according to Israel’s domestic intelligence agency.

The Shin Bet said in a statement on Saturday evening that, “there was a significant threat to harm Yair Netanyahu, and in light of this and after an assessment, a decision was made to urgently evacuate him along with his security team and return him to Israel”.
