Yair Netanyahu, son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has reportedly changed his name to Yonatan Hon over the past year and a half. This information was revealed in a report by the newspaper Haaretz, which cited tax authority documents showing the name change while retaining the same ID number.

According to the documents, tax deduction certificates issued in December 2024 still bore the name Yair Netanyahu, but more recent documents from this year list the name Yonatan Hon alongside identical identifying details, including the address "Balfour 0." This serves as evidence of the name change, which appears to have taken place within the last eighteen months.

Israeli law requires official name changes to be processed through the Ministry of Interior, after which a seven-year period generally restricts further changes except in exceptional cases. The report did not specify the reasons behind the name change or any official statements from Yair Netanyahu or his representatives.
