Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during a visit to Soroka Hospital, which was hit by an Iranian rocket, said that “all Israelis are paying the price” for the Iranian missile attacks. “There are people who have been killed, families who have suffered for their loved ones, I appreciate that very much,” he said. Netanyahu added that his family has also been affected by the consequences of the war.
The prime minister's son, in fact, cannot marry: « For the second time, my son Avner had to cancel his wedding because of the threat of missile launches, a personal price certainly paid by him, his fiancée and our family ».
The wedding, scheduled for Monday, was postponed due to the outbreak of war between Israel and Iran. Avner's wedding to the glamorous Amit Yardeni, scheduled in one of the most luxurious locations in the country, had been harshly criticized in recent days by the prime minister's opponents.
Almost immediately after the wedding details were made public, criticisms emerged about the timing, scope and symbolism of the event, with many calling it an elitist display, out of context for a nation in deep crisis, at war while hostages remain in Gaza. Some activists had even drawn up plans to disrupt the wedding. Now the conflict with Iran has changed everyone’s plans.
