In a leaked audio file the former Minister of Justice of the Zionist regime, exposed a portion of the thoughts and personality of the current Prime Minister Netanyahu, calling him and his wife dictators.
Senior Yamina MK Ayelet Shaked described Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, as “dictators” and “tyrants” with a “lust for power,” and said the premier only cares about his ongoing corruption trial, in bombshell recordings aired on Monday.
Shaked could be heard in the recording insisting that Yamina would be “thrilled” if Netanyahu manages to convince Bezalel Smotrich, the chairman of the far-right Religious Zionism party, to join a right-wing government reliant on the outside support of the Islamist Ra’am party.
She said another option would be for Netanyahu to ask President Reuven Rivlin to transfer the government-forming mandate to Bennett, claiming that the Yamina chair would have an easier time forming a right-wing government with Likud and could even bring along Benny Gantz’s Blue and White as well as Gideon Sa’ar’s New Hope — both of whom have vowed not to sit with the premier.
“He wants to remain in power. He has a lust for power — he and his wife. They’re like tyrants, like dictators. They’re not prepared to move aside. We’re not like that,” she said.
“It’s true that he [Netanyahu] has to go. He has to go. But I said to [New Hope chairman] Gideon [Sa’ar], ‘There is a country [to run]. So what now? You’ll build this absurd coalition, with this and that [party], because he has to go?’” she continued, referring to negotiations to establish a coalition made up of right-wing, centrist, and left-wing parties in a bid to replace Netanyahu.
“Because of his trial, he’ll move even further to the right,” Shaked added of Netanyahu. “It’s the opposite of [former prime minister Ariel] Sharon [who moved from right to center as prime minister amid a corruption probe against him]. It’s true that the only thing he cares about now is his trial. He absolutely does not care about anything else. It’s true… all his considerations, his behavior, his comportment — all revolve around his trial,” she said.
