Yair Netanyahu, the son of Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, has become a prominent and sometimes controversial public proxy for his father, occasionally eliciting comparisons to Donald Trump Jr.
More recently, as Rivlin was burying his wife of 48 years on what would have been her 74th birthday, Yair Netanyahu retweeted a satirical right-wing account mocking Rivlin for hypocrisy in defending the rule of law.
Rogel Alpher, the columnist for the liberal daily Haaretz who cautioned Israelis not to underestimate the premier’s son, wrote that Yair Netanyahu is “becoming an online star,” and that the left ignored him, or mocked him, at its peril. The Times requested an interview with Yair Netanyahu via a family spokesman, Ofer Golan, who declined.
The younger Netanyahu lives with his parents in the prime minister’s official residence in Jerusalem. He is not known to have held a job apart from a short stint as social media director at a nongovernmental agency offering legal counsel to terrorism victims, which let him go in March after his comments on Rivlin.
But on Twitter he has remained an unfettered voice, often jousting with Israeli media figures whom he has called “traitors.”
