  • Sara Netanyahu allegedly stated she and her husband would leave for America if Benjamin Netanyahu loses the election.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared on Channel 14's "The Patriots" program Sunday to boost support for himself and the right-wing bloc, warning against a victory for the left. During the interview, he addressed the audience, attacking leaders of the "change bloc" and stating that they would not eliminate Iran's nuclear program. Netanyahu asserted that while some believe living with an Iranian bomb is possible, "either they will destroy us or we will destroy them." He claimed there is a ten percent chance left to act and that "only we can" secure Israel's future. Netanyahu announced he had instructed the Mossad and the IDF to overthrow the Iranian regime, stating, "We have an opportunity to ensure a bright future for the State of Israel." He accused opponents of trying to hide the "real question of these elections" from the public, which he defined as "who will ensure the future of the Land of Israel."

During the broadcast, a video clip surfaced showing Prime Minister's wife Sara Netanyahu in conversation with a person seated next to her. In the clip, which was later removed from social media, she angrily dismissed accusations against her husband as "all lies." The video sparked significant online discussion.

Businessman Roni Mana, formerly close to the Netanyahus but now a prominent critic, reacted to the clip. Mana identified the person next to Sara Netanyahu as Lior Kezav, brother of former President Moshe Kezav and former chairman of the Kiryat Malachi municipality. Mana tweeted that individuals present told him Sara Netanyahu said, "No one is doing them any favors. If Bibi is not elected, let the country burn, they will leave for America and let everyone go to hell. Without Bibi there is no country, and why does he need to try so hard and beg? He is the greatest leader in the world and without Bibi there is no country."
