The Controversy Surrounding Yair Netanyahu’s Alleged Presence on a Gay Dating App
Social media in Israeli Occupation was recently abuzz with controversy over photos that allegedly depicted Benjamin Netanyahu’s son, Yair, on a gay dating app. The images, which circulated online, showed a man posing in a selfie mirror with his face hidden behind an iPad. Described as handsome, 32 years old, and blond, the man in the photos sparked a flurry of reactions.
Attorney Gonen Ben Yitzhak, known for his criticism of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, shared the photos with a caption that read, “Our good guys are fighting in Gaza,” prompting many to question the identity of the man in the images.
The revelation of Yair Netanyahu’s alleged presence on the gay app brought longstanding rumors to light, igniting a heated debate. The images caused a stir within religious circles and among coalition partners of Netanyahu’s father, who are known for their condemnation of homosexuality.
Earlier this year, Yair Netanyahu faced backlash from Israeli Occupation social media users after a video of him in Miami went viral. The footage drew parallels between Israeli Occupation citizens engaged in conflict in Gaza and the Prime Minister’s son enjoying the safety of a skyscraper in the US, despite being eligible for reserve duty until he turns 40.
Already a controversial figure in Israeli Occupation politics, Yair Netanyahu has come under increased scrutiny. Critics often target both him and his mother, Sarah, accusing them of extravagant spending and misconduct at the taxpayers’ expense, labeling them as “the parasites.”
This situation is unprecedented in Israeli Occupation politics, with no previous prime minister’s son attracting such attention. In contrast, Yair’s brother Avner is viewed by many as a serious and honest individual.
