Did Netanyahu Send His Son Yair Outside Israel?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife have asked their son Yair to stop his activities and statements through posts and tweets on social media, according to the Israeli site "Walla" on Thursday. "Walla" reported from three "reliable" sources that Yair's cessation of this activity came after his parents informed him that he was "causing political harm" and urged him to "calm down" and stop tweeting. This request reportedly led to a "severe family confrontation." Yair was seen, according to the Arab 48 website, at Ben Gurion Airport preparing to travel to the United States earlier this week. According to "Walla," he is expected to stay there for several months. Israeli media outlets indicate that Yair Netanyahu is one of the powerful and influential activists in promoting his father's policies and the Likud party, but his extreme views and statements have fueled protests against the government and caused political embarrassment and harm to his father.
