Yair Netanyahu, the son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, responded after former Fox News host Megyn Kelly suggested he had been “vacationing in Miami” while Israel and the United States carried out military strikes against Iran, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

The exchange began during a recent broadcast in which Kelly discussed the escalating conflict involving Iran with Erik Prince, the co-founder of Unplugged Technologies.

During the segment, the conversation turned to the Israeli prime minister and his family.

Prince raised questions about the prime minister’s travel to Washington and the role of his family during the ongoing conflict.

“It’s not the time to go deeper into Netanyahu’s war. I think he’s been to Washington at least six times. You think he could have taken his son back?” Prince said during the discussion.

Kelly then responded by referencing the number of visits to the White House.

“The White House, at least seven,” Kelly said.

Prince replied, “Okay, seven.”

Kelly continued the exchange by raising a claim about the prime minister’s sons.

“All his sons are on a beach in Miami. That’s a good question,” Kelly said.

The comments quickly drew attention online as the military confrontation involving Iran intensified. Israeli and U.S. forces have been conducting strikes targeting Iranian military infrastructure in recent days.

After Kelly’s remarks circulated, Yair Netanyahu publicly pushed back against the claim that he was spending time in Miami while the military operations were underway.

According to reports, Netanyahu responded by sharing a photo showing him in Israel alongside a friend of Kelly’s. The image was posted as a rebuttal to the claim that he had been outside the country during the military activity.

Hi @megynkelly , I’m in Israel right now—not at the beach in Miami. I even met here your friend @melissaafrancis the other day. As a lawyer, you should know better when it comes to the issue of libel. pic.twitter.com/Unt0ciz4Lt

The exchange highlights how the ongoing conflict involving Iran has sparked debate and commentary across media platforms, with commentators, political figures, and public personalities weighing in on the military operations and the political decisions surrounding them.

Kelly, who previously hosted a primetime program on Fox News, has remained active in political commentary through her broadcasts and interviews.

Prince, who participated in the interview where the comments were made, is known for his background in national security and defense-related ventures and as the co-founder of Unplugged Technologies.

The remarks about Netanyahu’s son circulated widely after a video of the interview segment began spreading on social media platforms.

In the clip, the exchange between Kelly and Prince centers on the number of visits the Israeli prime minister has made to Washington and the location of his sons during the conflict.

Kelly’s statement that “All his sons are on a beach in Miami. That’s a good question” was the remark that prompted Netanyahu’s response.

By posting the photograph showing himself in Israel, Netanyahu disputed the suggestion that he had been outside the country during the military operations.

The incident quickly became another flashpoint in the broader media debate surrounding the conflict with Iran and the involvement of Israel and the United States in the military campaign.
