Israeli soldiers blast Benjamin Netanyahu's podcaster son Yair, 32, for 'abandoning' them by staying in Miami while 360,000 reservists are called up to fight
Yair Netanyahu, 32, has been in Miami since at least April and is looking to remain in the US. As thousands of Israelis return home to fight, Yair's absence is raising eyebrows. An unprecedented 360,000 reservists have been called up - many of them dropping everything to fly back to Israel, even abandoning honeymoons. 'Yair is enjoying his life at Miami Beach while I'm on the front lines,' one soldier, a volunteer serving on Israel's northern front, told The Times of London. 'It's us who are leaving our work, our families, our kids, to protect our families back home and the country, not the people who are responsible for this situation. 'Our brothers, our fathers, sons, are all going to the front line, but Yair is still not here. It does not help build trust in the leadership of the country.' Another, deployed to the border with Gaza, told the paper: 'I've flown back from the States where I have a job, a life, my family. There is no way I can stay there and abandon my country, my people, at this critical time. Where is the prime minister's son? Why isn't he in Israel?
