The World Zionist Organization has removed Yair Netanyahu, son of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, from consideration for a prominent executive post after his last-minute nomination sparked backlash and derailed a key appointments agreement. Despite efforts from the Prime Minister's Office to reverse the decision, sources say there is no viable path for Yair to receive the appointment, and the Zionist General Council is unlikely to approve any future nomination. The leadership of the organization will now go to Rabbi Doron Perez, with Yaakov Hagoel set to succeed him halfway through the term. The failed attempt to secure a position for Yair Netanyahu has also impacted internal power dynamics, likely benefiting Hagoel over Netanyahu loyalist Miki Zohar.
