Veteran businessman Roni Mana, known for his uncompromising and fiery nature, has become a prominent and sharp voice in Israeli public discourse. In addition to his ongoing real estate and private business activities, Mana is a panelist on a Channel 13 program and maintains an active social media presence, where he frequently shares insider information and expresses strong opinions.
Once considered a close associate of the Netanyahu family, Mana has evolved into one of their most vocal critics. On Monday, he stirred controversy with a dramatic political prediction targeting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amidst speculation about a potential government change. Mana posted on his social media account, claiming Netanyahu is "doing everything" to prevent the Haredi parties and Shas from joining a government led by Gantz.
According to Mana's scenario, if Netanyahu fails to thwart this move, he will proactively approach Gantz, agreeing to a rotation in the Prime Minister's office with Gantz serving first. Mana described this as a "discreet decision" by the family, aimed solely at remaining relevant and preserving Netanyahu's status.
Mana asserted that the primary motivation behind this alleged willingness to concede the top spot in a rotation is the fear of a state commission of inquiry, stating, "so that there won't be a state commission of inquiry and all the garbage will surface." He concluded with a direct warning to opposition members planning their political moves against Netanyahu, "The change bloc, Bibi will do a Gantz 2 to you, mark my words, don't fall into the trap."
