  • Businessman Roni Mana accused Channel 14 of deceiving its "brainless" viewers.
  • Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is scheduled for an interview on Channel 14.
  • Mana claimed Netanyahu and his wife Sara disparage Mizrahi Jews.
  • Netanyahu recently stated Israel is the strongest power in the Middle East.
  • Mana was formerly close to the Netanyahu family.

Businessman Roni Mana has sharply criticized Channel 14, accusing the Israeli news outlet of deceiving its audience. Mana's comments came in response to an announcement that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu would appear on the channel's program "The Patriots," hosted by Yinon Magal, for a special interview ahead of the October 27th elections. Mana directed a harsh message to Magal, suggesting Netanyahu might be overly excited during the interview and implying the channel's viewers are "brainless." This is not Mana's first public criticism of Netanyahu; he was formerly close to the Netanyahu family. Mana also echoed sentiments from a video that questioned Netanyahu's political alignment, suggesting he is not truly right-wing and is mocking his viewers. Mana added his own accusations, claiming Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, look down on Mizrahi Jews, particularly Moroccans, considering them uneducated.
