Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly smeared the son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of lounging on the beaches of Miami while Israel and the United States launch critical strikes against the Iranian regime’s terror infrastructure.
Kelly, who has increasingly aligned herself with anti-Israel voices like Tucker Carlson, claimed during a recent broadcast that Yair was ‘vacationing in Miami’ amid the escalating conflict.
Kelly, during an interview with Erik Prince, co-founder of Unplugged Technologies, asked why Yair Netanyahu lives comfortably in Miami rather than serving in the IDF.
Erik Prince:
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?Megyn Kelly:
The White House, at least seven.Erik Prince:
Okay, seven.Megyn Kelly:
All his sons are on a beach in Miami. That’s a good question.

But Yair Netanyahu wasn’t having any of it.
The prime minister’s son, who has been living in Miami since April 2023, fired back swiftly on X, exposing Kelly’s baseless attack and hinting at potential legal action for libel.
“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,” Yair posted, accompanied by a photo of himself alongside Melissa Francis, a former colleague of Kelly’s from her Fox News days.
Francis, who worked with Kelly on “The Kelly File,” is seen smiling in the shot.
