Beyond external pressures, people close to the couple suggested that personal disagreements also played a role. According to reports, Avner chose to “take a break” to reflect, after months of stress over rescheduling, political scrutiny, and the emotional weight of wartime. This is not the first time Avner Netanyahu has ended an engagement. In 2022, he broke off plans to marry a previous fiancée after a three-year relationship. The repeated cancellations have fueled public curiosity about the younger Netanyahu’s private life, which has often been caught at the intersection of political drama and media scrutiny.
Sources close to Amit Yardni described her as supportive but increasingly uncomfortable with the public attention. Yardni, a cybersecurity team leader at Check Point and a former contestant on Ninja Israel, had largely avoided the spotlight despite her ties to the Netanyahu family. In April 2025, she attended a family henna ceremony, which was viewed as a symbolic prelude to their wedding, fueling speculation that the union was still firmly on track.
