00:23Because of his father's academic career, Netanyahu spent part of his youth in the United States,
00:28which helped him become fluent in English and familiar with Western political culture.
00:32Netanyahu had two brothers.
00:34His older brother, Yonatan Netanyahu, was an officer in an elite Israeli military unit.
00:40He became widely known after being killed while leading the rescue mission
00:43during the famous Operation Entebbe in 1976, a raid that rescued hostages from Uganda.

01:25From his first marriage, Netanyahu has a daughter, Noah Netanyahu, Roth.

01:53and quiet neighborhoods near the Mediterranean Sea.

02:15and has a share in a family property inherited from his parents.
02:18Due to his position, all of these locations are protected with strong security measures.
02:23Netanyahu's estimated personal wealth is usually reported to be between 10 and 13 million U.S. dollars.
02:29His income has come from several sources, including his government salary, book publishing, international speaking engagements,
02:36consulting work earlier in his career, and long-term financial investments.

02:51His long career, family background, and public leadership have made both his professional life and personal life
02:57subjects of constant public interest around the world.
