Yair Netanyahu to Detail Alleged Plot Against His Father in New Book
A forthcoming book by the Prime Minister's son argues that Israeli institutions and foreign enemies coordinated to unseat Benjamin Netanyahu.
By Olga Menon ·
Yair Netanyahu, the 35-year-old son of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has authored a new book that outlines his belief that foreign and domestic adversaries worked together to remove his father from power. The book, titled Two-Front War: Inside Israel’s Fight for Survival, Against Foreign Enemies and Domestic Saboteurs, is scheduled for release in March 2027 by RatPac Press, with distribution handled by Simon & Schuster.
The publisher’s description characterizes Yair Netanyahu as a proud Jew and devoted Zionist who discovered a conspiracy within Israeli institutions. According to the blurb, when the country’s prosecutors, judges, intelligence agencies, military command, media, and foreign-funded NGOs focused on removing the Prime Minister, Yair found himself trapped in a complex system that most citizens rarely encounter.
The narrative aligns with claims Yair Netanyahu has made regarding his father’s ongoing legal battles. The Prime Minister has faced three corruption trials since 2020, with charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust that he has consistently denied. Yair has alleged that the prosecutors and police involved in these cases committed treason and attempted to stage a coup against his father.
The book also addresses the events of October 7, 2023, when Hamas attacked Israel. The author argues that the attacks exposed an alliance among neo-Nazi groups, radical Islamist movements, and far-left ideological networks. These groups are described as targeting Israel as the primary obstacle in a broader effort to destabilize the West and erode the foundations of free civilization.
Yair Netanyahu is a divisive figure in Israeli public life, known for his social media presence where he supports his father’s political agenda and sometimes promotes far-right conspiracy theories. His online activity has drawn international attention, including in 2017 when he shared an image depicting Jewish philanthropist George Soros controlling his father’s political rivals. That post received praise from the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer.
More recently, this week, Yair Netanyahu alleged that the national election held on October 27 was rigged against his father. He claimed the vote was stolen by enemy states that bribed Arab voters, further fueling debates about the integrity of Israel’s democratic processes.
The publisher, RatPac Press, is part of RatPac Entertainment, a company founded by filmmaker Brett Ratner and Australian billionaire James Packer. Ratner moved to Israel in 2023 after sexual misconduct allegations impacted his career in Hollywood, although he has denied those claims. He served as a special guest for the Prime Minister at the United Nations General Assembly in September 2023 and shared a photo of their meeting on social media.
James Packer has a direct connection to the Prime Minister’s legal case, as he was named in one of the corruption indictments. The charges alleged that Packer provided gifts of cigars and champagne to Benjamin and Sara Netanyahu between 2014 and 2016. Packer later told Australian Federal Police agents that he was happy to give the presents, often at the request of the Prime Minister or his wife. He sold his stake in RatPac in 2017.
Neither Simon & Schuster nor RatPac Entertainment responded to requests for comment regarding the upcoming publication.
