He has also urged U.S. President Donald Trump to cease supporting Netanyahu and called on Likud members to replace him.

Public relations executive Rani Rahav has launched a sharp attack against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of frightening the public and lying ahead of the 26th Knesset elections. Rahav, a prominent critic of Netanyahu in recent years, reacted to a message posted by the Prime Minister on his X account (formerly Twitter) on Monday, urging citizens to vote for the Likud party and warning of a "dangerous left-wing government" led by opposition figures if Likud loses. Netanyahu's post specifically mentioned Gadi Eisenkot, Avigdor Lieberman, Yair Golan, and Arab parties as potential coalition partners in an opposition government. Rahav responded directly to Netanyahu's tweet, stating, "Enough lying Netanyahu, enough scaring! It's all your fault! And a Palestinian state will not be established!" He added, "We will return to a beautiful, good country, clean of corruption and people who steal public money. We will return to a country where everyone serves in the army! Enough Bibi."

This is not the first time Rahav has criticized Netanyahu recently. Just days prior, he attacked the Prime Minister over an election video that suggested Mansour Abbas could be appointed Interior Minister in a government led by Gadi Eisenkot. Rahav's response to that video was, "Benjamin Netanyahu, stop the incitement against Israel's Arabs!" He also criticized Netanyahu's cooperation with ultra-Orthodox parties, raising the issue of equal burden-sharing.

In another instance, following developments in the "Qatargate" affair and reports on Channel 12, Rahav sent a strong message to U.S. President Donald Trump, urging him to stop supporting Netanyahu. Rahav also appealed to Likud members, calling on them to replace the Prime Minister as party leader.
