Yair Netanyahu to release book on ‘deep state’ war against his father

Yair Netanyahu, son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is due to publish a book claiming that Israeli institutions conspired to remove his father from power. Its release by a major publisher gives a prominent platform to allegations that echo Yair’s longstanding conspiracy claims, including claims about the recent election and his father’s corruption trial.

The book, titled *Two-Front War: Inside Israel’s Fight for Survival – Against Foreign Enemies and Domestic Saboteurs*, is set to be distributed by Simon & Schuster. Its publicity describes prosecutors, judges, intelligence agencies, the military, media and non-governmental organisations as part of a system targeting Benjamin Netanyahu. The article says the prime minister has faced a corruption trial since 2020; his bloc won 53 seats in the 120-seat Knesset election, short of the 61 needed for a majority, while Arab-led parties won a record 19 seats.
