Shin Bet evacuates Yair<\/p>\n

Multiple outlets tied the evacuation to a threat linked to Iran, with Newsmax previously reporting that Israeli intelligence uncovered an alleged Iranian plan to assassinate Yair in Florida in December 2025.<\/p>\n

The reports said Yair was in Florida when authorities decided to move him back to Israel, and that he left without taking his personal belongings while remaining accompanied by Israeli security.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu cites Iran<\/p>\n

Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview with Israel\u2019s Channel 14 that \u201cIran targeted one of my sons. Iran tried to murder him \u2013 tried to murder one of my sons,\u201d framing the threat as an Iranian attempt to kill a son.<\/p>\n

The Jerusalem Post reported that the initial Newsmax account was published on the Boca Raton-based Newsmax website on Tuesday and cited a US law enforcement source alleging Israeli intelligence discovered an Iranian plot in December to assassinate Yair in Florida.<\/p>\n

News18 described Shin Bet\u2019s confirmation that Yair was moved urgently from the United States to Israel after authorities assessed he faced a \u201csignificant” threat from Iran, while also noting Shin Bet did not disclose details or say who was believed to be behind it.<\/p>\n

News18 added that Channel 12 reported Shin Bet personnel were transferred from New York to Miami to help with the emergency evacuation, with the agents reportedly accompanying Israeli President Isaac Herzog during his US visit.<\/p>\n

Security, scrutiny, and fallout<\/p>\n

Infobae said Shin Bet\u2019s confirmation came five days after Netanyahu revealed in a telephone interview with pro-government Channel 14 that Iran had attempted to \u201cassassinate\u201d one of his children, without specifying whether he meant Yair, 35, or Avner, 31.<\/p>\n

Infobae also reported that Channel 12 said Shin Bet transferred agents from New York to Miami for the extraction operation, where they were assigned to the security of Israeli President Isaac Herzog, who was visiting that city at the time.<\/p>\n

Across the coverage, Yair\u2019s continued presence in the United States\u2014described as spending much of the past few years in the Miami area\u2014was linked to criticism in Israel, particularly after the October 2023 Hamas attack when hundreds of thousands of Israelis were called up for reserve duty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shin Bet evacuates Yair Shin Bet said that \u201cfollowing a situation assessment, a decision was made to extract…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":830834,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[23,351904,322367,31776,3,322366,322365,351905,21,19,22,20,25,24],"class_list":["post-830833","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-states","tag-america","tag-israeli-politics","tag-media-analysis","tag-media-bias","tag-news","tag-news-compared","tag-news-comparison","tag-shin-bet-evacuates-yair-netanyahu","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/830833","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=830833"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/830833\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/830834"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=830833"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=830833"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=830833"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
