(NewsNation) — Locals in Miami are raising their eyebrows at their new neighbor, Sara Netanyahu. The wife of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been in South Florida “for over 50 days” my well-placed source said, and is believed to be living with her son Nair, who has been hiding out there the entire war.
As I previously reported, Yair Netanyahu, 33, has been living in Miami since April 2023 and is protected by Shin Bet at an estimated annual cost of approximately $688,000.
Presumably, the cost has gone up now that his mother Sara has joined him (he has asked for more security due to his fear of assassination, despite publicly rebuking Shin Bet, the secret Service of Israel).

Spies said Sara has visited Mar-a-Lago, the “winter White House” several times and is now searching for a familial property to buy in the area.
A rep for the Netanyahu family didn’t return emails.
While there are compelling reasons the family wants a foothold in Miami — the warm weather, the proximity to U.S. President Donald Trump and more importantly, there is no war being waged in the South Florida metropolis — sources say Sara is there for another reason.
”She doesn’t want to be indicted or arrested — which would likely happen if she goes back to Tel Aviv,” one insider said.

Sara Netanyahu, like her husband, has faced numerous accusations of corruption.
Most recently, in December, Israel’s attorney general ordered police to open an investigation into Sara “on suspicion of harassing political opponents and a witness in the Israeli leader’s corruption trial,” according to the AP.
The wire service reports: “Netanyahu is charged with fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes in a series of cases alleging he exchanged favors with powerful media moguls and wealthy associates. Netanyahu denies the charges and says he is the victim of a ‘witch hunt’ by overzealous prosecutors, police and the media.”
Also, according to the AP: “The report obtained correspondence between Sara Netanyahu and Hanni Bleiweiss, a former aide to the prime minister who died of cancer last year. The messages indicated that Sara Netanyahu, through Bleiweiss, encouraged police to crack down violently on anti-government protesters and ordered Bleiweiss to organize protests against her husband’s critics.”

Klein is an aide to billionaire Hollywood mogul Arnon Milchan and has testified in the corruption case about her role in delivering tens of thousands of dollars worth of champagne, cigars and gifts to Netanyahu for her boss.
This is not the first time Sara has been in trouble with Israeli law.
In, she was fined $15,000 for misusing state funds, after being accused of spending over $100,000 on lavish meals.
