Barak Seri Claims Netanyahu Intentionally Weakens Likud Leaders Amid Primaries Controversy

Barak Seri spoke on 103fm radio about the ongoing turmoil in the Likud party primaries, alleging that Benjamin Netanyahu is deliberately undermining senior party members, including Tali Gottlieb. Seri suggested that the upcoming primaries will reveal Netanyahu's true influence over Likud voters.

Seri also addressed a recent scandal involving Channel 14 and 103fm's prosecutor, criticizing the way Channel 14 handled a controversial interview. He described the broadcast as a major embarrassment, accusing the channel of failing to apologize for the mistake and instead offering a response he called "more ridiculous and pathetic than the blunder itself."

Seri emphasized that a simple apology and assurance of corrective measures would have been the appropriate response to the incident. The controversy has added to the tension within the Likud party as the primaries approach, highlighting internal conflicts and Netanyahu's contested role in shaping party dynamics.
