Businessman Roni Mana, once a close confidant of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has become a vocal critic of the Netanyahu family. Mana, leveraging his intimate knowledge of the couple, frequently analyzes Netanyahu's actions on his X account.
Following Donald Trump's recent endorsement of Netanyahu for the upcoming elections, Mana expressed skepticism about the motives behind the statement, alleging a significant cost to Israel. In a tweet, Mana suggested a potential deal between Netanyahu and Trump, stating, "What interests Trump is the reconstruction of Gaza, and I do not rule out the liquidation sale of the State of Israel."
Mana questioned Trump's sudden shift in stance, noting that just three days prior, Trump had declared he was not supporting any candidate. Mana found it implausible that Trump would issue a supportive statement after Netanyahu's previous visit to New York, during which Trump allegedly humiliated him and refused a meeting, especially given the reported animosity towards Netanyahu from the Trump administration.
Mana attributed the sudden endorsement to a behind-the-scenes quid pro quo involving financial gain. He speculated, "There is no doubt that Bibi sold Trump the reconstruction of Gaza, and I am sure Kushner was involved in this." Mana also drew parallels to past dealings, stating, "I know Bibi and his situation, just as Uriah sold us to Qatar and just as Bibi sold us to Qatar, otherwise there is no other explanation."
Trump's endorsement praised Netanyahu's strength, courage, and intelligence in the face of significant opposition, even from within Israel. He emphasized that America would have to handle matters itself if Israel did not have the "right leader," implying Netanyahu.
Separately, Mana also criticized Channel 14 presenter Yinon Magal for calling Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yishai! party, a "monkey managed by Ashkenazim." Mana asserted that such a remark, if reversed, would provoke a furious reaction from Netanyahu, and called for Eisenkot to respond strongly.
