  • Commentator Barak Seri harshly criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu's performance.
  • Seri stated Netanyahu's English is the only positive attribute left.
  • He accused Netanyahu of being responsible for numerous failures and disasters.
  • Seri also called for an investigation into a past security incident.
  • He suggested Netanyahu avoids accountability due to fear of losing.

Commentator and media advisor Barak Seri launched an unprecedentedly sharp attack against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister Amichai Chikli. In a post on his X account, Seri claimed that Netanyahu's supporters have nothing to present to the public but his English language abilities, while his overall performance is riddled with failures.

Seri wrote, "In the end, according to his associates, the mouthpieces, and all sorts of pathetic individuals like Amichai Chikli, all that's left of Netanyahu is his English. Besides that, they have nothing to be proud of, nothing to wave around, nothing to present. Bibi is a sea of failures, blunders, and disasters, but what English."

Previously, Seri directly accused Netanyahu regarding an attempted attack on a Flydubai flight, demanding an investigation. "Netanyahu must establish a committee of inquiry tomorrow to investigate the severe failure... and especially to ensure that such an extremist terrorist never gets into the cockpit on his way to Israel. That's what he needs to do, not to congratulate himself, sing, and cheer as if he is not responsible for anything," Seri stated.

He concluded with bitter skepticism, "But what committee of inquiry am I talking about? This Wednesday will mark three years since the terrible massacre, and no committee of inquiry has been established... It hasn't been established because Netanyahu is afraid. He knows he has a lot to lose."
