Benjamin Netanyahu has two siblings whom he shares his parents with. They are Yonatan Netanyahu and Iddo Netanyahu. All three brothers served in the Sayeret Matkal reconnaissance unit of the Israel Defense Forces.

Yonatan Netanyahu is the older brother of Benjamin. He was killed in Uganda during Operation Entebbe in 1976 at the age of 30. He was an Israeli military officer who commanded Sayeret Matkal during the Entebbe raid, launched in response to the 1976 hijacking of an international civilian passenger flight from Israel to France by Palestinian and German militants, who took control of the aircraft during a stopover in Greece and diverted it to Libya and then to Uganda, where they received support from Ugandan dictator Idi Amin.

Yonatan Netanyahu was born in New York City on March 13, 1946, to Tzila Segal and Benzion Netanyahu, a professor emeritus of history at Cornell University.

Iddo is the younger brother of Benjamin. He is a radiologist and writer. He was born on July 24, 1952, in Jerusalem, the son of Cela Segal and Professor Benzion Netanyahu, and spent part of his childhood in the United States. He left studies at Cornell University in 1973 to fight for Israel in the Yom Kippur War.

Iddo lives in Jerusalem, Israel and he is married and has two children.
