Israeli businessman and real estate entrepreneur Roni Mana has publicly accused journalist Bruria Avidan Birer of causing his divorce from his ex-wife, Nicole Halperin. Mana, who is known for his past ties to Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and his wife Sara Netanyahu, and his subsequent public criticism of them, made the accusation on his X (formerly Twitter) account.

Mana claimed that Avidan Birer advised Halperin to leave him during a conversation, which he alleges frightened her and led to their separation. He stated that he would never forget this action. Mana also mentioned that his current wife, Jacqueline Lichtenstein, intervened to save their relationship, leading to their marriage, two children, and a respectful relationship to this day.

The dispute began after Avidan Birer commented on Mana's own social media posts, criticizing his unsolicited advice to Netanyahu regarding his marriage and finances. Avidan Birer suggested Mana was overstepping by offering marital and financial counsel to the Prime Minister.

Mana responded by attacking Avidan Birer's past as a gossip columnist for "La'Isha" magazine, accusing her of ruining many people's lives without mercy. He also reiterated his strong opinions about the Netanyahus, claiming Sara Netanyahu controls all of Bibi Netanyahu's assets and that he advised the Prime Minister to divorce her, believing she has ruined his life and that he is her "slave."
