Protest Leader Moshe Radman Predicts Netanyahu Will Lose and Flee to US

Moshe Radman Abutbul, a prominent protest leader, sharply criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Economy Minister Nir Barkat, and Likud party members on Wednesday amid ongoing controversy surrounding Barkat. Radman expressed satisfaction at the criticism directed at Barkat and other Likud members, accusing them of being "pathetic puppets" who allowed Netanyahu to govern unchecked for years. He charged that Netanyahu dismantled the state, selling it to ultra-Orthodox and Kahanist supporters, turning Likud into a branch of extremist factions.

Radman stated that the current attacks on senior Likud officials are a consequence of their political choices, telling them "you deserve it." He predicted Netanyahu would lose the upcoming elections and flee to the United States with his wife and children, leaving Likud to collapse into fragments without jobs or contracts to distribute. He warned that after Netanyahu's departure, Likud members would have to face the shame of being part of a government responsible for a "three-year looting war."

He concluded by highlighting the heavy toll during the war period, citing over 2,200 casualties and accusing the government of nearly dismantling Israel. Radman's remarks add to the public dispute surrounding Barkat following allegations about his conduct with Netanyahu.
