Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu said in broadcast remarks on Tuesday there was a “huge, worldwide effort” to ensure he loses next week’s closely contested election.
Army Radio, which aired what it said were comments he made on Monday to activists of his right-wing Likud party, interpreted them as referring to foreign funding for advocacy groups campaigning for a change of government in Israel.
Political parties in Israel are banned from accepting money directly from overseas donors during an election campaign.
But such funding is allowed under Israeli law for non-profit organizations espousing political viewpoints, and US consultants have advised Israeli candidates for years.
“It is a very tight race. Nothing is guaranteed because there is a huge, worldwide effort to topple the Likud government,” said Netanyahu, who received rousing applause in the US Congress last week during a speech against a potential nuclear deal with Iran sought by the administration of President Barack Obama.

Sorry situation!
Bibi is clearly the best man of the pack to run the country but he ‘tchepered’ with the b’nei Torah and families who struggle to put food into the hugry children’s mouths. This may all be his personal retribution from above.
To think though how a more left candidate could possibly chance a win is quite scary!
80% of the Jews in Gulus wants Netanyahu out of office. He, his Likud, mr Bennet, mr Lieberman and their parties are not only a shande far Jisroel but a BIG disaster for World Jewry.
If only the worldwide effort was actually just against him – but we all know that the worldwide effort is the destruction of the Jewish people and their religion – don’t forget Amalek!!!!
Sounds like he is preparing his excuse for an expected loss.
I don’t think the voters of Israel are as stupid as the Americans. Or are they?
U.S. voters elected obama twice. That makes them twice as stupid. But will the Israeli’s go for a left wing government that will leave them vulnerable to terrorism and a nuclear Iran down the road???
We will find out next week.
To no 2, you genious, wh else is gonna do a better job?
so who does frum jewry in Israel think is best for chareidim & are hoping to vote for? anyone know?
The English skills of the commentators above is pathetic. My hunch is they all are American born and [un]educated. What’s worse is that their world views match their language skill. That will led them to vote for Obama twice and I am afraid will lead them to vote for an Obama clone two years from now.
