Veteran businessman and media personality Roni Mana has claimed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his family are preparing contingency plans amid the current political deadlock. Mana, known for his outspoken nature and past close ties to the Netanyahu family, stated that the Prime Minister is awaiting developments regarding potential actions by the ultra-Orthodox parties, a possible government formation led by Gadi Eisenkot, and an upcoming court appeal.
Mana alleges that if these avenues do not materialize favorably for Netanyahu, the Prime Minister is prepared to propose a surprising unity government with Eisenkot, where Netanyahu would relinquish the premiership. "Watch out for his deceit, don't fall into his trap," Mana cautioned, suggesting Netanyahu is discussing a rotation government with President where Eisenkot would be first and Netanyahu second, describing it as a "Bibi exercise."
Mana's insights stem from a long and tumultuous relationship with the Netanyahus. He was once a close confidant, assisting with business deals and personal crises. However, their alliance fractured in 2009, reportedly over a dispute involving a former housekeeper, Lilian Peretz. Mana was accused by the Netanyahus of instigating Peretz's lawsuit against them, an accusation he denied, claiming he tried to mediate and even pay Peretz himself.
The rift deepened when Netanyahu canceled his attendance at Mana's son's bar mitzvah, a personal slight Mana never forgave. Further grievances include Mana's accusations against former Netanyahu aide Natan Eshel for allegedly fabricating stories and isolating him from the Prime Minister's office. This history has transformed Mana from a staunch defender into a sharp critic, now using his deep understanding of the Prime Minister's circle to offer public commentary and analysis, with Gadi Eisenkot being the latest alleged target of political stratagems.
