Lauder Warns Against Netanyahu Reelection, Cites Democratic Decline

Lauder Warns Against Netanyahu Reelection, Cites Democratic Decline

Ronald Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress and former Netanyahu confidant, has publicly criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, warning Israelis against his reelection. Lauder described Israel under Netanyahu as a "banana republic" and a "dictator" regime, also blaming ministers Ben Gvir and Smotrich for damaging the country's image. He revealed past secret negotiations with Syria where Netanyahu allegedly agreed to withdraw from the Golan Heights but later abandoned the deal, which Lauder felt was a betrayal. Lauder also noted a decline in international and diaspora support for Israel.
