Twice-Postponed Wedding for PM's Son Leads to Broken Engagement

The story of Avner Netanyahu's engagement, and its ultimate end, is a complex and deeply personal one, interwoven with the tumultuous political and security landscape of Israel. Unlike his older brother Yair, who is known for his outspoken public presence, Avner has long maintained a more private and low-profile life. His relationship with his fiancée, Amit Yardeni, was initially a quiet affair, and their engagement in mid-2024 was a cause for celebration within their personal circles. The couple, who had been together for two years, seemed to be on a clear path toward a life together, filled with the usual hopes and dreams of a young couple planning their future.
