Shmuel Roth, the 17-year-old grandson of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, married this Sunday in Jerusalem. The discreet ceremony took place in a small hall in the ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Mea Shearim, avoiding official receptions and media attention. Roth is the son of Noa Netanyahu-Roth, Netanyahu's eldest daughter from his first marriage to Miriam Weizmann, also known as Miki Haran. Noa, who leads a life away from politics and media, has become more religious as an adult and married businessman Daniel Roth, who comes from an Orthodox background. They reside with their children in Mea Shearim, a Haredi community stronghold in Jerusalem, affiliated with the Breslev Hasidic movement.
Shmuel Roth, born in September 2009, is Benjamin Netanyahu's first grandchild. His birth was marked by the Prime Minister's attendance at his circumcision ceremony, alongside Netanyahu's father, Benzion Netanyahu, and Chief Rabbi Israel Meir Lau. The young man's religious dedication previously garnered attention from Orthodox media in October 2022, when he completed the study of the entire Babylonian Talmud at age 13 during his bar mitzvah celebration in Mea Shearim. Teachers report he dedicated significant free time to religious texts.
Speculation about the relationship between Noa Roth and her father has been frequent in the Israeli press, with reports of estrangement. However, in July, Benjamin Netanyahu denied these rumors in an interview, stating they maintain contact, meet occasionally, and celebrate some holidays together. Noa's half-siblings, Yaïr and Avner, are from Netanyahu's marriage to his current wife, Sara.
