A former member of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s personal security team has revealed violent incidents within his family, revealing Netanyahu’s son was involved in a violent confrontation with his father.
Ami Dror, who once headed Netanyahu’s security team, shared shocking details about Netanyahu’s wife and son during a podcast interview with Israeli newspaper Maariv.
He said Yair was involved in a violent confrontation with his father that required intervention by those present. Dror described the incident as a serious confrontation rather than a minor dispute.
In the same interview, Dror offered a harsh personal assessment of Netanyahu, saying the Israeli prime minister “was never an ethical person."
He described Netanyahu as someone who “eats at restaurants and doesn’t pay, dumping the expenses on others,” adding that “power only made it worse, for him, his family, and the circle around him.”
Turning to his wife, Sara, Dror described her as “a malicious woman,” who consolidated power within the household and influences legal proceedings to protect her family’s interests.
The former bodyguard also reiterated that Netanyahu should face prison, citing that he has long been entangled in a series of corruption cases that have dominated Israel’s political landscape.
In November 2019, Israel’s attorney general indicted Netanyahu on charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust in three separate cases, making him the first Israeli prime minister to stand trial while in office.
The cases involved gifts from wealthy benefactors, discussions of regulatory or legislative benefits in exchange for favorable media coverage, and business advantages granted to a telecommunications company in return for positive reporting.
Netanyahu’s trial has continued for years, with repeated court appearances through 2024 and 2025.
In addition, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister faces charges of the gravest war crimes against Palestinians, with an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against him in November 2024.
The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory reported in September that Netanyahu’s regime has committed genocide in Gaza. It called on the international community to fulfill its legal obligations under international law and hold those responsible accountable.
