Legislative elections in Israel: the influence war of Yair Netanyahu, the far-right son of his father

Yaïr Nétanyahou, living with his parents at 35, has never held a job and wields significant online influence. He and his mother, Sara, are key supporters of his father, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nétanyahou, who faces political isolation after nearly two decades in power. Together, they dismiss disloyal aides and promote loyalists, pushing Benjamin further to the right. As elections approach, Yaïr works to secure his father's political future amid serious legal challenges, including charges from the International Criminal Court and corruption allegations. He plays a crucial role in what is referred to as the 'poison machine' in Israel, similar to MAGA influencers in the U.S.
