In October 2023, the network cost a picture of a sunbathing young man. It was argued that this is Yair Netanyahu, the eldest son of the head of the Israeli government, who, unlike thousands of reservists, did not return to his homeland during the war, but remained abroad. We checked whether such a description of the photograph is correct.
As reported under the photograph, Yair Netanyahu, being a reserve of the Israeli Defense Army (IDF), did not want to return to his homeland after the militants' attack on October 7 and fight against Hamas, but preferred to rest in Miami. Some sources added that he caused dissatisfaction with Israeli soldiers.
The photograph became especially popular in the Russian -language segment of the Internet in Telegram - in particular, channels were published "Live broadcast"(779,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Ukraine now: news, war, Russia"(460 000),"Dmitry Nicotin"(384,000),"Sanya in Florida"(376 000). "Lawyer Law"(259,000),"Newsach / Dv"(201 000),"Putin in Telegram"(193 000), Voblya (163,000) and "Ivan Utenkov"(115 000).
On October 7, 2023, the radical movement of Hamas (in a number of countries is recognized as a terrorist organization) Apply A series of missile strikes on the territory of Israel. At the same time, militants penetrated the border settlements of this country, where Killed Hundreds of civilians, and at least 239 hostages Beded to the gas sector. In response, Israel began the bombardment of the territory and preparation To the ground operation in the region, while the Hamas group continued the shelling of Israeli cities. Already on October 9, the head of the press service of the Israeli Defense Army Daniel Hagari declaredthat the country has already mobilized 300,000 reservists - a record number for such a short period. Soon the number of those called up for service It has grown up to 360,000.
The Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu has two sons: 32-year-old Yair and 29-year-old Avner. Both of them have passed the obligatory service in the IDF - in 2009–2012 And 2014–2017 respectively. According to Israeli laws, officers under 45 years old and the rest of the servicemen up to 40 years old are in reserve, so both sons of the Israeli leader could be mobilized after the Hamas attack on October 7.
In the first days after the attack of militants on social networks, a photograph dispersed in which, like It was indicated, Netanyahu and his wife escort their youngest son Avner to war against Hamas. Information about its mobilization was distributed, in particular, the Telegram channel "The voice of Israel"(211,000 subscribers). However, soon It turned outthat at least the photo does not correspond to the signature - the picture was Made In 2014, when Avner Netanyahu went to military service.
The opposite situation has developed around the eldest son of the prime minister. In the evening of October 22, Israeli TV presenter Orer Asayag Published In Storiz on Instagram, a photo with a sunbathing guy and the signature: “17:33, Miami, was shot today. While our children are in the gas sector and in the north (near the border with Lebanon, also regularly occur clashes. - approx. Ed.), This child is sitting in the pool. Someone, wake me up from this nightmare called "Netanyahu Family". " At the same time, Afayag added: "Is this true?"
The next day, October 23, the British edition of The Times published article With critical remarks to the 32-year-old son of the Prime Minister from the unnamed soldiers of the IDF-both constantly living in Israel and reservists who came from the United States. “Yair enjoys life in Miami Beach while I am at the front line,” one of the potential colleagues of Netanyahu complained. The plot, although not containing a photograph of a sunbathing guy, dispersed over other large British media And mentioned in Israeli editions. At the same time, journalists do not specify on the basis of what information their anonymous interlocutors made their conclusions and how reliable it is.
Indeed, since April 2023 that Yair Netanyahu temporarily moved to Florida, wrote Israeli And American Media based on including picturespublished on social networks. It is believed that the reason for the departure of the son of the head of government from Israel was his excessive activity on the Internet and the media, which was not always well reflected on the ranking of his father. In particular, Yair Compared demonstrators for several months protested Against the planned prime minister of judicial reform, with participants in the CA teams in Nazi Germany. The stay of Netanyahu Jr. wrote in Florida and in summer, and his lawyer Reportedthat in the near future he does not plan to return to Israel. Presumably, Yair lived then in Hallandale Beach, a suburb of Miami. September 22 he I visited The UN General Assembly in New York, where Netanyahu Sr. spoke. In early October, shortly before the Hamas attack, it became It is knownthat the son of the Prime Minister became a client of an American law firm specializing in immigration. This allowed journalists to conclude that he plans to receive a passport or residence permit in the United States.
Apparently, Yair Netanyahu remained in Florida after the attack - in the second half of October the world media went around photo, made in the town of Fort Lleoddale 10 days after the attack of the militants. In the picture, Netanyahu Jr. helps to sort humanitarian aid for the soldiers of the IDF and Israeli families injured from the war. This image was also used in the aforementioned article by The Times. Later spread and Video recording work of volunteers. In his profile on Instagram, the son of the Israeli Prime Minister collects Donations for the military and victims.
As for the picture among sunbathing people, it is genuine and it really depicted Yair Netanyahu, but the photo was taken much earlier, in 2015. The son of a politician is not captured in Florida, but in Tel Aviv, where the young man visited the pool "Gordon pool"And he fell into the lenses of the paparazzi.
Thus, Yair Netanyahu, apparently, really remained in the USA after the Hamas attack on Israel and did not go to the location of the IDF. However, the photograph used by Telegram channels and other resources, designed to prove this, has nothing to do with the events of October 2023.
It should be noted that on non -constricted resources, information from the article by The Times with the statements of anonymous Israeli military, as well as an incorrectly signed photo from the pool circulated much more actively than within the country. Currently, there is no official or independent information about the possible mobilization of Yair and Avner Netanyahu.
