Ronnie Manyana Slams Netanyahu, Calls Him 'Pathetic Bibi Supporter'

A fierce online confrontation erupted on social media platform X after Likud activist Moti Ohana posted a political campaign poster comparing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Gadi Eisenkot and Ahmed Tibi. The poster, which urged the public to choose between 'Bibi and Tibi/Eisenkot,' enraged businessman Ronnie Manyana, a former close confidant of the Netanyahu family and now one of his most vocal opponents.

In a scathing response, Manyana attacked Ohana and Likud supporters, asserting that the October 7th failures would not have occurred had the previous "government of change" remained in power alongside the Ra'am party. Manyana further labeled the Prime Minister "the biggest bluff," emphasizing his deep personal knowledge of Netanyahu over the years, stating he knows him "like the back of his hand."

The businessman's offensive extended beyond politics into sharp personal and ethnic attacks. Manyana accused Netanyahu and his wife of disrespecting their supporters and showing discriminatory attitudes towards Mizrahi voters, while criticizing Ohana for his "blind loyalty" to the government. He also made pointed claims about the Prime Minister's lifestyle and family relationships, contrasting it with the pride the public should feel towards IDF commanders and security veterans.

This intense exchange highlights the escalating temperature of political discourse on social media and the deep, irreparable rift between Netanyahu and former associates who have become aggressive adversaries in the public sphere.
