Netanyahu’s sons did serve in the Israeli military, although how much danger they were actually in is unknown to me, and Netanyahu himself has extensive combat experience.
One of Netanyahu’s sons was a press officer behind the lines, but the other was with combat intelligence at the front.
Israel is different in this regard. Everybody serves in the army. It’s also a small country. The military Is closely woven into society. The IDF is not a professional army, but mostly made up of reservists who are called up as needed. That means the political leaders will know people personally who have to fight.
What unit you serve in can make a big difference for your later success in life. Combat units, special forces, Air Force, and intelligence have the highest prestige.
Politicians benefit immensely in their credibility, if they have a distinct military career.
That’s fine and if the Israelis and US decide to invade Iran, the IDF can lead the charge with a an amphibious assault. Right? You know who else had a closely woven society between the military and society? The fucking Nazis and Bolsheviks!
