‘Yair Assaulted His Father’ – Ex-Security Chief

Former head of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security team, Ami Dror, revealed Netanyahu’s son, Yair, assaulted his father, necessitating intervention and forcing Netanyahu to leave for Miami, Florida.

These remarks were made in a podcast interview with the Israeli newspaper Maariv. Dror, now an entrepreneur and a leading figure in the protests against judicial reforms, who is also running in the Democratic primaries, discussed his years working alongside Netanyahu, revealing a series of what he described as “extraordinary” and “shocking” incidents within the prime minister’s family.

Dror stated that Yair Netanyahu’s departure for Miami “was not voluntary, but forced,” adding, “Yair assaulted his father. It wasn’t a karate punch, but a real assault that required intervention, and that’s what happened.”

Dror strongly criticized Benjamin Netanyahu’s personal conduct, saying, “Netanyahu has never been a moral person.”

He added, explaining: “Immoral means someone who eats at restaurants and doesn’t pay, passing the buck to others. This isn’t someone you’d want as a friend, and you can’t turn your back on them.”

He pointed out that these traits weren’t new, saying, “He’s always been like this. The position has exacerbated it for him, his family, and his inner circle.”

He went even further, describing Netanyahu as “a moral garbage dump,” and deeming his current term in office “disastrous” politically.

Sara Netanyahu is a kleptomaniac


Dror addressed Netanyahu’s wife, Sara, saying, “I’ve said it before and I stand by it: Sara Netanyahu is a kleptomaniac.” He added that he had seen gifts and towels disappear from hotels, emphasizing that “gifts given to the prime minister belong to the state, not the family.” He described her as “a wicked woman,” and said that Netanyahu tried to present her in the style of Hillary Clinton, “but she’s no Hillary Clinton.”

Regarding her influence within the Prime Minister’s office, Dror explained that Netanyahu initially created her power, but she later consolidated it, becoming the “real center of gravity” in recent years. He noted that she was the one who halted the plea bargain (a plea agreement), motivated by a desire to maintain her position of power and her conviction that her son, Yair, was capable of succeeding her.

In closing, Dror emphasized his stance on Netanyahu’s trial, stating, “Yes, I want him in prison, not out of revenge, but for the sake of justice.”

He added, “In a healthy country, a prime minister who accepts gifts and obstructs legal proceedings goes to prison.”

He also held Netanyahu responsible for the failure regarding the prisoners’ issue, asserting that dozens of prisoners could have been released alive were it not for political calculations and stalling tactics.

Mojtaba Khamenei in ‘Full Physical Health’

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Monday that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is in “full physical health” following a seven-hour meeting.

“We met with the Leader of the Revolution and discussed all manner of issues. Physically, he was in full health,” Pezeshkian said during a meeting cited by the semi-official Tasnim news agency.

“He offered his guidance, and I raised the concerns and problems. He listened to what I had to say with ease,” he added.

The official IRNA news agency earlier reported that Khamenei and Pezeshkian held a seven-hour long meeting to discuss challenges facing the country.

“Maintaining unity and cohesion was the most important advice that the Supreme Leader of the Revolution emphasized,” Pezeshkian said.

He added that the meeting primarily focused on people’s livelihoods, employment and housing, as well as “the problems caused by sanctions.”

Iran is engaged in a military conflict with Washington since the US and Israel launched a joint offensive against Tehran in February, fueling regional tensions. Iran retaliated with attacks targeting regional countries hosting US military assets.

Iran and the US agreed to a ceasefire in April and subsequently signed a memorandum of understanding in June aimed at ending their military conflict and reaching a lasting peace agreement.

​​​​​​​The deal, however, collapsed last month with Tehran and Washington exchanging attacks for nearly two weeks before US President Donald Trump abruptly halted the bombardment amid reports of talks to resolve the conflict according to Anadolu.

Facing The Israeli Gun: 108 Cases Against Journalists in July

The Freedoms Committee of the Palestinian Journalists Association has documented 108 cases of crimes, attacks, and violations against journalists and media workers in last July 2026. These included arrests, beatings, interrogations, detentions, and prevention from covering events, as well as attacks with stun grenades and tear gas, settler assaults, raids on homes and media outlets, and the confiscation and destruction of equipment.

The Freedoms Committee confirmed that 58 cases of detention and prevention from covering events topped the list of documented violations in that month of July, while restrictions on journalists’ work continued as they covered events in the field.

The committee also recorded 11 attacks by settlers against journalists and media crews, including physical assault, pushing, threats, and preventing journalists from carrying out their work, particularly while covering events and attacks in various areas of the West Bank.

The committee also documented 12 cases of journalists being targeted with stun grenades and tear gas, which in several instances resulted in journalists suffering from suffocation while covering raids, attacks, and field events.

Regarding physical assaults, the Committee documented six cases of beatings, in addition to four cases of journalists sustaining serious injuries while performing their journalistic duties and covering events in the Gaza Strip. These injuries included those caused by shrapnel from rockets and shells.

Concerning arrests, the committee documented two cases of journalists being detained, while also recording four cases of interrogation, as part of measures targeting journalists while performing their work or due to their journalistic activities.

The committee also monitored four cases of raids on homes and media outlets, some of which involved searches, tampering with contents, and interrogations of journalists. Additionally, one media outlet was closed and its contents confiscated.

With regard to journalistic equipment, the committee recorded three cases of confiscation and destruction of equipment, along with two cases of deletion of video footage during the prevention of journalists from covering events or attacks against them while performing their duties.

The Committee for Freedoms also documented two cases of journalists being barred from Al-Aqsa Mosque, where decisions were issued preventing them from entering the mosque’s courtyards for specific periods.

The field reports documented by the Committee during the month show that the attacks were not limited to one type of violation, but extended from arrest, interrogation, and detention to physical assault, targeting with tear gas and stun grenades, as well as preventing coverage, confiscating equipment, and deleting footage.

These findings confirm the continued exposure of Palestinian journalists to multiple risks and restrictions while performing their professional duty of reporting and documenting events, amidst repeated instances of prevention, detention, and attacks on media crews in various locations.

The Palestinian Journalists Association demands guarantees for the protection of journalists and their ability to perform their work without threats, attacks, or harassment. It also calls for respect for press freedom and the public’s right to access information, and for holding accountable those responsible for attacks and violations against journalists and media crews.
