01 · THE DISPATCH

Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak warned in remarks to journalist Aryeh Golan that if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attempts to sabotage the upcoming elections, he must be driven out 'with sticks and stones.' The sharp statement reflects the deepening political tensions in Israel ahead of the electoral contest. Barak's phrasing echoes a colloquial Hebrew idiom for forceful removal. The comment was shared via the source but originates from an interview or direct exchange with Golan. No further context on the timing or forum of the remarks was immediately available.
