MK Ben Barak (Democrats) warned Sunday evening that a Netanyahu election victory would drive many Israelis to leave the country. "If Netanyahu wins, many people will leave the country to live normal lives," he said. The comment echoes a poll published by The Zioneer on July 18, which found that one in four Israelis would consider emigrating if Netanyahu is re-elected. The statement comes amid a heated election campaign in which emigration has become a recurring theme. Barak, an opposition MK, has been a vocal critic of the prime minister.
