This is the best summary I could come up with:


As 360,000 Israeli reservists flock home to join the war effort against Hamas, some returning volunteers and their families have asked why one young man with a powerful dad isn't among them.

Since Hamas militants stormed into Israel, killing civilians and kidnapping hundreds of people, the podcaster has used his Instagram account to raise funds for charity groups working to support the victims of the attack.

We saw the pictures from October 7 of people sleeping on the floor of planes from Japan, from New York, from Hong Kong, from Thailand, just to get back," said Mitchell Barak, an American-Israeli pollster and political analyst based in Jerusalem.

But despite his influence on his father, Yair may be reluctant to return home after a string of controversies and court cases prompted him to leave Israel earlier this year.

And earlier this year, he drew a strong rebuke from the US State Department for spreading a conspiracy theory that America was funding ongoing protests against his father's controversial judicial reforms.

"The insinuation that the young activist had an intimate relationship with the head of the party, a married man who is decades older than her, could humiliate her and make her a target of hatred, contempt or ridicule," Judge Ronen Peleg wrote in the ruling.
