Business Associate of Netanyahu Slams PM Amid Social Media Feud
Editorial illustration generated by baba News — not a photograph of the event.

A heated exchange erupted on the social media platform X between media personality Noam Fathi and businessman Roni Mana, an associate of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The dispute began when Fathi posted that evidence had emerged proving Netanyahu was not warned before October 7th, did not take bribes, and was not involved in the submarine affair, accusing critics of spreading baseless claims.

Mana responded with a sharp attack, questioning Fathi's motives and accusing Netanyahu of being warned, taking significant bribes, and betraying the country in the submarine deal. Mana asserted that all these claims were true and that Netanyahu was responsible for the deaths and injuries of thousands of soldiers and civilians, calling him "worse than a crime boss" and predicting he would go to jail.

Mana concluded his remarks with a sarcastic offer to Fathi, stating, "If you had a business and a security company and burglars came and took everything and the guards failed, would you hire that same security company?" He added, "On a personal level, I like you. If Bibi loses, I will arrange a job for you with a lot of money, don't worry."

This exchange follows a previous post by Mana where he claimed to have revealed private conversations with the Netanyahus. In those alleged conversations, Prime Minister Netanyahu and his wife reportedly described their voters as uneducated and susceptible to emotional appeals, which they then exploited.
