Benjamin Netanyahu has been criticised by right-wing politicians in Israel who have accused the country's prime minister of failing to set an example for the Jewish people by not preventing his son from dating a non-Jewish girl.
Yair Netanyahu, a 23-year-old student, is thought to be dating a Norwegian woman after the pair met at the prestigious Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, Israel, which they both attend.
According to a report in the Norwegian newspaper
Dagen, when the Israeli leader met Norwegian premier Erna Solberg at the World Economic Forum in Davos last week, he mentioned that Yair had a Norwegian girlfriend, 25-year-old Sandra Leikanger, and that the couple had visited Norway last summer.
The newspaper also published photos posted on Ms Leikanger's Facebook page appearing to show the pair posing together at various sites in Norway.
"It's a big problem," Nissim Ze'ev, a politician representing the ultra-orthodox Shas party, told the
Jerusalem Post. "As the prime minister of Israel and the Jewish people, he must display national responsibility via the values he presents inside his own household.
