- Yair Netanyahu alleges a "Kafkaesque" institutional plot against his father, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in an upcoming book.
- The book claims prosecutors, judges, intelligence, military, media, and NGOs coordinated to destabilize the Prime Minister.
- Yair Netanyahu frames the October 7 attacks as part of an international alliance targeting Western democracies.
- Benjamin Netanyahu is currently on trial for corruption, fraud, and breach of trust since 2020.
- The book's publisher is linked to James Packer, a former associate of the Netanyahu family.
Yair Netanyahu, 35, son of outgoing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is set to release his first book in early 2027. Titled "War on Two Fronts: Israel's Fight for Survival Against Foreign Enemies and Internal Saboteurs," the book will be published by RatPac Press and distributed by Simon & Schuster.
The book argues that a broad political destabilization campaign has been waged against Benjamin Netanyahu. Yair Netanyahu accuses prosecutors, judges, intelligence officials, military command, media outlets, and foreign-funded NGOs of coordinating efforts to bring about his father's downfall. He describes an institutional system that he claims has "Kafkaesque" characteristics and has been misused for political purposes.
These allegations echo Yair Netanyahu's long-standing public statements, particularly on social media, where he has previously called the corruption investigations against his father a "coup d'état." Benjamin Netanyahu has been on trial since 2020 for charges of corruption, fraud, and breach of trust, which he denies.
The book also addresses the October 7, 2023, massacres, framing them as evidence of an "international alliance between radical Islamist movements, neo-Nazi networks, and the far-left." According to Yair Netanyahu, Israel is the primary target of a larger scheme to destabilize Western democracies.
The publication comes amid a tense political climate. Yair Netanyahu recently claimed that foreign states manipulated the election by purchasing Arab votes. The publisher, RatPac Press, is part of RatPac Entertainment, co-founded by director Brett Ratner and Australian billionaire James Packer, a former associate of the Netanyahu family. Packer was previously mentioned in one of the Prime Minister's legal cases concerning luxury gifts.
