Benjamin Netanyahu's son, Yair, "avoiding Israeli military service" in Miami

Netanyahu's son 'vulnerable target' for kidnapping in Miami while dodging IDF reserve, expert warns
EXCLUSIVE: Benjamin Netanyahu's son, Yair, faces potential kidnapping threats while living in Miami and avoiding Israeli military service, according to a former White House insider

Benjamin Netanyahu's son, Yair, who resides in Miami, is facing a possible kidnapping threat as global tensions continue to escalate, according to a former White House official.


The 34-year-old is reportedly involved in "non-profit charity work" in Florida, whilst around 360,000 reserve soldiers have been called up to serve in the Israeli military amid the conflict with Iran, temporarily setting aside their civilian duties.



Questions are being raised about why he hasn't enlisted alongside his compatriots, and Howard Stoffer, an international affairs specialist with 25 years of experience in the U.S. government, cautions that he must take security measures seriously. This follows reports that Trump was overheard making an alarming statement that could potentially ignite World War III. It comes as Barron Trump is barred from military service by a bizarre medical exemption.

"Barron stands at a staggering 6’9’’ tall, meaning he may be too tall for the Army, particularly for specific roles involving restricted space like armored vehicles, tanks, or aircraft. Generally, max height limits (e.g., 80 inches/6'8" in the US Army) are enforced to ensure safety and fit within equipment."



Mercy!

How tall is he without his shoes? Has anyone done independent measurements of Barron Trump? Am I the only person who is beginning to think he is not Trump's biological son? In my opinion, he does not look like Trump? Is that just me?
