Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has shared a personal impact of the ongoing conflict with Iran, revealing that the escalating attacks have once again disrupted his son Avner’s wedding plans.
In a video interview shared on X (formerly Twitter), Netanyahu disclosed that Avner’s wedding has been postponed for the second time due to missile threats amid the Iran-Israel tensions.
“We all bear a personal price. It didn’t pass by my family,” Netanyahu said. “This is the second time my son Avner’s wedding is delayed because of missiles. It’s a huge personal price for him, his fiancée, and our family.”
He also took a moment to acknowledge and thank his wife for her unwavering support during what he described as a difficult time.
The emotional revelation has since gone viral on social media, sparking a wide range of reactions—from sympathy to sharp criticism.
Here are some of the public responses:
@LauraLoomer: “Bibi’s son can’t hold his wedding. What a shame. I guess this means we need to bomb Iran, huh?”
@GWatcher46: “Maybe attacking Iran unprovoked during peace negotiations wasn’t the right move. It’s time for Israel to fire Netanyahu.”
@solsynarchy: “How many weddings did he ‘cancel’ by bombing future brides and grooms as children? He’s a sociopath showing his true self.”
@Jakques_X: “He didn’t say ‘we bear responsibility,’ just tried to gain sympathy for his own family.”
@cgestrada: “People are dying, and the big sacrifice is postponing a party?”
While the Israeli leader’s comments aimed to highlight the personal costs of war, they have reignited debates around leadership, empathy, and accountability amid the ongoing violence in the region.
