Businessman Roni Mana, a vocal critic of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his family, has accused the prime minister of benefiting from national disasters to postpone elections and maintain power. Mana stated that Netanyahu "lives off our disasters" because he fears losing upcoming elections. He suggested that a major disaster or war would allow Netanyahu to delay the elections and remain in office.
Mana made these remarks in the context of a foiled attack on a Flydubai flight, which he praised as a averted tragedy thanks to the heroism of Israelis and the pilot. However, he argued that if the attack had succeeded, Netanyahu would have exploited it to launch a major conflict with Iran, thereby preventing elections and securing his rule.
According to Mana, Netanyahu is driven by self-interest, his family, and his hold on power, fearing only his wife, Sara, and his ongoing legal trials. Mana believes Netanyahu would do anything to avoid conviction and imprisonment, including prolonging his time in office. He asserted that Netanyahu cannot leave the country due to potential arrest warrants abroad.
Mana's past relationship with the Netanyahus is noted, including a gesture of support for Sara Netanyahu in 1997. Their connection reportedly ended in 2009.
