Avner and Amit’s relationship had been closely followed since it began. In April 2025, they celebrated with a traditional Henna ceremony, an event that provided rare photos of the Prime Minister and his wife, Sara, alongside the couple. Amit Yardni, who has a background as a team leader at the cybersecurity giant Check Point and a former contestant on the reality TV show “Ninja Israel,” has largely avoided the public eye, a stark contrast to Avner’s brother, Yair. This is also the second time Avner has called off an engagement.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that every Israeli citizen bears a personal cost due to the war, and cited the cancellation of his son Avner’s wedding as an example. “The war has not spared my family,” he said while visiting Be’er Sheva’s Soroka Medical Center, which was hit by an missile that morning. “This is the second time my son Avner has had to cancel his wedding ceremony due to missile threats and missile strikes, which is indeed a heavy personal price for him, his fiancée and our families.”
