Eli Cohen before the elections: "Arab countries will try to topple the PM" | Watch

Dr. Eli Cohen said in an interview about two months ago that Arab countries have launched a campaign against Prime Minister Netanyahu with the aim of toppling him, believing that this would lead to the collapse of Likud and the right wing. The article links these statements to the Shin Bet investigation into foreign interference in the elections.

Dr. Eli Cohen, an expert on the Middle East, predicted about two months ago in an interview on Channel 14's "Yoman Tzhorayim" program that Arab countries have launched a campaign against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with the aim of removing him from power. According to Cohen, Arab countries believe that toppling Netanyahu will lead to the collapse of Likud and the entire right wing, thereby paving the way for a left-wing government and the establishment of a Palestinian state. The article links his statements to the Shin Bet investigation opened last night, which is examining suspicions of foreign interference in the elections, following a police raid in the Negev where envelopes containing tens of thousands of shekels in cash and voting slips for the Ra'am party were found. Qatar has denied any involvement in the elections.
