Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his wife Sara and eldest son Yair plan to stay in an underground bunker in Jerusalem meant for senior leaders in case of an Iranian attack, according to the Walla news site.

Citing sources among Netanyahu’s associates, the report says Sara and Yair are interested in joining the premier in the bunker and are looking into the possibility of sleeping there if and when Iran attacks.

In response, the Prime Minister’s Office calls the report “fake news.”
