Ex-Bodyguard Reveals Alleged Physical Clash Between Netanyahu and Son

DID Press: New details emerged about an alleged physical clash between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his son, Yair Netanyahu, according to former head of Netanyahu’s security team.

Russia Today Arabic (Russia al-Youm) reported that Ami Dror, the former chief of Netanyahu’s protective team, described the incident as a “real physical assault” during a podcast published by the Israeli newspaper Maariv. Dror said security personnel were forced to intervene to separate the two and bring the confrontation to an end.

According to Dror, the incident ultimately led to Yair Netanyahu being sent out of the country to Miami, US, shortly afterward. He characterized the episode as part of broader unusual behavior and ethical tensions within the Netanyahu family.

Yair Netanyahu had previously denied similar allegations in 2025. The renewed disclosure comes at a time of heightened internal and regional tensions in Israel and has triggered a fresh wave of political criticism directed at Prime Minister Netanyahu.
