Likud MK Claims US Actors Conspired to Oust Netanyahu Amid War

On a recent broadcast of the program "Riklin & Co," Likud Member of Knesset Amit Halevi alleged that international actors from the United States attempted to interfere in Israeli politics with the goal of ousting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Halevi stated he was aware of these activities "in real time" and mentioned that some collaborations occurred "behind the Prime Minister's back" during the ongoing war.

Halevi did not disclose specific names or detailed actions but emphasized his knowledge of these covert efforts. When asked if he had been directly approached regarding such attempts, Halevi responded ambiguously, suggesting he was questioned but did not provide further details. He clarified that while he was not aware of a particular event at the time, he was familiar with other interference attempts from an American angle.

The MK recounted discussing one example with Netanyahu, who reportedly replied, "Amit, this is one of four," implying multiple such incidents. Halevi did not elaborate on what Netanyahu meant by "one of four" or the nature of the other cases. The program host, Shimon Riklin, highlighted Netanyahu's ability to manage multiple challenges simultaneously, including his ongoing trial, the conflict in Gaza, tensions with Iran, and pressures from the United States. Another panelist added that Netanyahu also faces internal political challenges.

This revelation adds a new dimension to the complex political and security environment surrounding Netanyahu during a critical period for Israel.
