Netanyahu's Son Returns to Israel Amid New Relationship

Avner Netanyahu, son of the Prime Minister, landed in Israel early Tuesday morning on a Lufthansa flight from Munich, ahead of the upcoming election day. The flight experienced a delay of about an hour and a half on the runway in Germany before receiving clearance to depart for Israel. Netanyahu was seated in the front of the economy class and was not accompanied by his new girlfriend, model the model. The couple recently confirmed their relationship during a vacation in London, with the model sharing a selfie of them on social media. The model, a graduate of Reichman University and a recognized model, previously dated Israeli national team footballer Dor Peretz. Netanyahu's new relationship comes about ten months after the dissolution of his engagement to Amit Yardeni, with whom he had already held a lavish henna party and was close to marriage before it was postponed and eventually canceled due to security concerns. This is the second broken engagement for Netanyahu, who also separated from his then-fiancée Noy Bar shortly before their wedding in 2022. In addition to personal life changes, Netanyahu maintains a stable professional and academic path. He previously placed third in the World Bible Quiz, served as a combat soldier and commander in the Combat Intelligence Collection Corps, and earned a degree in history and archaeology from the Hebrew University. After working at PwC, he is now active in business and high-tech as a senior fellow at the venture capital fund Group 11, focusing on defense technology ventures. Meanwhile, Noy Bar, Netanyahu's first former fiancée and a Channel 14 panelist, caused a stir online with sharp criticism of the growing Halloween celebrations in Israel. She posted a photo of a supermarket cart filled with Halloween items, including a pumpkin, and strongly condemned the trend as "blind imitation" that is "strange, artificial, embarrassing, humiliating, and even disgusting." She further questioned the adoption of foreign customs in the context of national identity, stating, "A nation that loses the reason for its existence as a separate and united entity will lose its existence." She concluded with a sarcastic remark about "multiculturalism, my foot."
