- Netanyahu's son-in-law Daniel Roth danced to an anti-Zionist song at a Haredi wedding.
- The incident occurs during a contentious political debate over Haredi conscription into the IDF.
- Roth danced with leaders of Neturei Karta and Satmar communities.
- A similar controversy involved former minister Yitzhak Goldknopf dancing to the same song.
- The report emphasizes the political sensitivity due to family ties and draft tensions.
Daniel Roth, son-in-law of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was recently seen dancing at a wedding to a song identified with anti-Zionist and anti-Israeli government circles. This incident gains political significance due to the ongoing debate surrounding the conscription of Haredim (ultra-Orthodox Jews) into the IDF, a central issue in the current election campaign.
The song, "In the Rule of the Infidels We Do Not Believe," expresses not only a religious lifestyle but also opposition to the state's authority. Goldknopf was filmed dancing at a wedding to the same song, accompanied by yeshiva students chanting anti-draft slogans.
Noa Roth, Netanyahu's daughter from his first marriage to Dr. Miki Haran, has become religiously observant and married Daniel Roth. The couple, who maintain a Haredi lifestyle and generally keep a low profile, have five children. Their family has previously been in the headlines regarding other family events, including the 2009 brit milah (circumcision ceremony) of Netanyahu's first grandson, Shmuel, and the birth of their fifth son, Natan, in July 2022, which Netanyahu attended.
The report of Roth's dancing at the wedding is amplified by the current sensitive political climate. It is significant not as proof of the Prime Minister's stance, but due to the family connection and the persistent public tension surrounding the draft issue and the relationship between the state and Haredi factions opposed to Zionism.
