  • Businessman Roni Mana claims Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fears defeat and is in panic.
  • Mana alleges the Netanyahu family is under "atomic pressure" and seeking activist help.
  • Netanyahu is reportedly considering breaking his media boycott and interviewing with TV channels.
  • Mana suggested political retirement in exchange for a pardon was considered by Netanyahu.
  • Mana asserted his claims are "100 percent verified" and called the family a "crime family."

Businessman Roni Mana has renewed his public criticism of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, publishing a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter) alleging exclusive information about the prime minister's inner circle.

Mana, once a close confidant of the Netanyahus, now claims that sources close to the prime minister indicate Netanyahu is deeply worried about his political standing and fears defeat. According to Mana, Netanyahu is contemplating breaking his long-standing media boycott and considering interviews with Channels 12 or 13, a move Mana suggests should be approached cautiously by the networks.

He further alleged that the Netanyahu family is in "atomic pressure," with Yair Netanyahu urging Likud voters to turn out in large numbers. Mana directly appealed to Likud voters who were disappointed by the recent primary results, urging them not to support the party, drawing a parallel to being fired and then asked for help.

Mana escalated his rhetoric, calling the family a "crime family" and accusing them of employing spies while the "head of the organization" is aware but inactive. He also described chaos within the Netanyahu household, with Sara and Yair reportedly setting up a situation room to contact activists for assistance, driven by poll results showing a significant potential defeat.

Adding to the claims, Mana stated that Netanyahu is concerned about high voter turnout among opponents and apathy within his own base, and is considering interviews with previously boycotted radio stations. He concluded by suggesting that an option of political retirement in exchange for a pardon was considered, recalling a similar situation in 1999 when Netanyahu faced defeat against Ehud Barak. Mana asserted that all his previous reports were accurate and his current claims are "100 percent verified."
