Yair Netanyahu Changes Name to Yonatan Hon, Documents Reveal
Yair Netanyahu, the eldest son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has legally changed his name to Yonatan Hon. This was reported on July 8, 2026, by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, which obtained tax authority documents confirming the name change under the same identification number. The change reportedly took place over the past year and a half. Tax deduction approvals issued at the end of 2024 still bore the name Yair Netanyahu, while those for the current year were issued under the new name, Yonatan Hon, with identical identifying details. No further reasons for the name change were provided in the report.
