Iddo Netanyahu, born on July 24, 1952, in Jerusalem, Israel, is an Israeli physician specializing in radiology, author, and playwright. He is the youngest brother of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, and Yonatan (Yoni) Netanyahu, a highly decorated soldier killed while leading the Entebbe hostage rescue raid on July 4, 1976. Iddo spent part of his childhood in the United States, attended Cornell University for his undergraduate degree, and served in the Israeli Defense Forces' elite Sayeret Matkal special forces unit from 1970 to 1973, like his brothers. He later earned his M.D. from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem School of Medicine and began his writing career during medical studies amid the Yom Kippur War, producing short stories, novels, and political articles. Netanyahu has practiced as a radiologist and continued his literary work, contributing to Israeli culture through plays and books. His family background, marked by military service and the loss of his brother in a famous operation, has shaped his public profile. No major controversies or legal issues are documented in available sources.
