Netanyahu’s son is qualified to serve as a reservist until he is 40, and he is now 32, but instead, he is guarded 24/7 by two Shin Bet agents in his $5,000 a month apartment.

The UK's Daily Mail published a series of photos on Thursday in a report, exposing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's son, Yair, enjoying the high life in a luxurious Miami apartment, dodging the IOF draft.

Netanyahu’s son is qualified to serve as a reservist until he is 40, and he is now 32, but instead, he is guarded 24/7 by two Shin Bet agents in a luxury apartment rented for $5,000 a month in Hallandale Beach outside Miami.

“They accompany him to the gym, pool and whenever he leaves the swank high rise,” the Mail cited close sources as saying.

Far from war, Yair Netanyahu was spotted in his luxurious apartment which rents for $5,000 a month.

“But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s older son Yair looks in no hurry to join their ranks as he’s seen loafing around a luxury Florida condo complex,” the report stated, as it quoted Haaretz's Uri Misgav, a long-time Netanyahu critic, as saying, “He likes to wage war but via social media.”

Yair Netanyahu is one of his father's and the Likud Party's most powerful and effective social media advocates, yet his views and statements also ignited anti-government demonstrations and harmed Netanyahu's already damaged reputation.

“He is the lazy bum son who is partying in Miami while his prime minister father urges ordinary Israelis to sacrifice their own sons and lives.”

Draft-and-drool proof

The "lazy bum" - otherwise known as Yair - spent much of 2023 in the US and was feening on obtaining American residency before the October 7 events. 

Yair took to Telegram recently to blame the judiciary and military for the events in a series of posts, and even though he flew back to "Israel" in late November after public pressure, he was already back in the US by mid-January.

Back in November, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil posted on X about the luxury lifestyle of Yair while his father commits genocide in the Gaza Strip.

Gil wrote, "While the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, orders the Israeli Army to carry out a campaign of extermination and ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, his son Yair Netanyahu lives peacefully in Miami, United States."

Mientras el Primer Ministro de Israel, Benjamin Nentanyahu, orderna al Ejército Israelí perpetrar una campaña de exterminio y limpieza étnica contra el pueblo palestino en la Franja de Gaza, su hijo Yair Nethanyaju vive plácidamente en Miami, Estados Unidos.

He stressed, "This is how oligarchies operate worldwide. Their Zionist leaders, puppets of Washington, call for military interventions, economic blockades, or war against vulnerable populations, sending young people to kill other young people," adding that "while their children live peacefully far from the massacres, protected and surrounded by luxuries."
