Businessman Roni Mana Accuses Netanyahu of Hating Sephardic Jews
Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

Businessman Roni Mana, formerly close to the Netanyahu family and now a vocal critic, has intensified his attacks on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of the upcoming elections. In a recent social media post, Mana shared a video of Netanyahu addressing the Arab community, where the Prime Minister boasted about allocating 15 billion shekels for their benefit, emphasizing his role as the first Israeli prime minister to do so and urging their support for a strong government.

Responding to the video, Mana directed sharp criticism at several prominent right-wing media personalities, including Yinon Magal, Amit Segal, Sharon Gal, Zimri, Fathi, and Arel Segel. He accused Netanyahu of mistreating Sephardic Jews, stating, "Bibi the Ashkenazi is abusing you Sephardic people. Wake up, he doesn't see you at all. He is not right-wing at all." Mana further alleged that Netanyahu's diplomatic approach and treatment of his own Likud party ministers, particularly those of Sephardic descent, are discriminatory, claiming, "Bibbi hates Sephardic people."

Mana's criticism extended to Netanyahu's English proficiency, suggesting it could lead to international isolation. He also reiterated past accusations against the Prime Minister and his wife, calling them "corrupt, liars, and swindlers" and referring to their family as a "crime family" and a "cuckoo's nest."
