A 2020 video reveals the ex-Israeli premier’s “master plan” to take power, according to Israeli Public Diplomacy Minister Galit Distel Atbaryan.

Israel’s Public Diplomacy Minister Galit Distel Atbaryan (Likud) on Friday exposed what she claimed was the plan of former prime minister Ehud Barak to bring down the government.
In the Twitter post, the Likud lawmaker describes an interview with Barak from July 2020 on Forum 555, a group of retired pilots and navigators.
In the interview, Barak detailed his “master plan” for creating civil unrest in a future coalition, she said, such as the one currently being led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which since the start of the year has faced unrelenting opposition to its judicial reform initiative.
Atbaryan summarized the interview, which she reminded readers occurred a few years before the current right-wing and religious coalition took power and began its push to reform the judicial branch.
The plan, she said, included deliberately inflaming the civilian population, creating a false representation of a danger to democracy, and bankrolling protests, including purchasing flags.
Asked during the interview about a possible reprise of the “success of 1999,” when he was elected prime minister, Barak said, “A friend of mine, a historian, once told me, ‘Ehud, they will call you when bodies are floating in the Yarkon River.’ I wish to stress: not the bodies of illegally residing Palestinians from the territories will be floating, and not Israeli Arabs. The floating bodies will be of Jews that were killed by Jews.”
He went on to say that should Netanyahu somehow disappear from the scene, and should Israel’s situation worsen on various fronts, that “I am more suitable and prepared than any other person in the country to take the wheel.”
In an address to London-based think tank Chatham House in March, Barak went into detail regarding how protests could bring down a government.
The politician said he was sure his side would win “because I know our people, and we have even empirical evidence for this.”
He referred to the research of professor Erica Chenoweth and political scientist Maria J. Stephan, who co-authored the 2012 book, “Why Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent Conflict.”
Barak said the two researchers looked at hundreds of civil protests from 1900 to 2006, and “they found a common denominator”—protests that succeeded included 3.5% of the population, or roughly 8% of the adult population, and “tenaciously and persistently” kept up the protests, boycotts and civil disobedience.
“At the end the government either falls or capitulates,” said Barak. “We already crossed this number in less than three months so we are heading in the right direction.”
Barak in a Twitter post published on Friday claimed that the video interview being shared was incomplete and that it didn’t reveal any new information.

RE: MASSIVE PROTESTS IN ISRAEL NOW & WHAT THEY PORTENT
Thanks for this today. These national protests in Israel against Benjamin Netanyahu now are historic and it appears few Jews and Christians fully understand their complexity and profound significance soon for Israel, all jews and the whole world.
I found this YouTube clip just posted on the Internet about the protestors’ events this weekend, and thought, although he was not very eloquent with his comments, he was partly on the right track:
If you start at 9:44 in, you will hear him say, “it’s the fight between Sun of Light Son of Darkness just like the Bible.” “The Christian Bible and that’s what I’m actually thinking now it’s a fight between freedom Democratic to Darkness.” “Lately you asked me another question why there are so many hate between Jews and Christians to destroy the relationship between the Jews and Christians.”
As I understand it, people are protesting against Benjamin Netanyahu because he wants to pass legislation in the Knesset to allow Parliament to overrule the independence of the Judiciary, which the majority of Israelis see as anti-democratic and will turn Israel into a dictatorship similar to Soviet Russia.
Well. The reason he wants to do this is because the independent Judiciary at present is packed full of Marxist, Socialist judges who have been OVERRULING legislation passed by the Knesset and effectively knee-capped the Israeli Parliament and taken away its power.
SO WHY ARE THESE EVENTS NOW SO IMPORTANT AND WHAT SOON DO THEY FORETELL?
From Genesis to Revelation we are told Israel is NOT to be ruled by a DEMOCRACY, (as Israel is ruled right now). The word DEMOCRACY comes from Greek demos ‘the people’ and kratia ‘power, rule.’ In other words, a “democracy” is a pagan Gentile form of government meaning “rule by the people.”
This is completely opposite to what God commands the nation of Israel and the Jews in the Bible. Israel is to be ruled by a THEOCRACY, a word which comes from Greek meaning; theo ‘God’ + cracy ‘rule’ = Theocratia = ‘the rule of God.’
For all the many prophecies in the Scriptures to soon be fulfilled, Ezekiel’s Millennium Temple to soon be built, for unbelieving Israel’s Day of Atonement, Feast of Trumpets and Feast of Tabernacles to occur, for the mark of the beast buying and selling system to be implemented, time of great tribulation to occur leading up to the battle at Armageddon in Israel – for the whole nation of Israel to reach repentance and salvation, to be washed clean and to be made priests of the most high God of Israel as is so clearly prophesied – ISRAEL’S CURRENT DEMOCRATIC GENTILE GOVERNMENT THEREFORE MUST FIRST BE ABOLISHED.
This is what is beginning now! These events are historic.
Yes. Benjamin Netanyahu is a Freemason and is far from perfect we know. But so was the apostle Paul before he got saved on the road to Damascus. Could God’s hand be overruling these events in Israel right now? Benjamin Netanyahu’s name in Hebrew literally means: “GOD HAS CHOSEN HIM SON OF THE RIGHT” HAND.” Could God though his amazing grace and mercy, be using him as he did the apostle Paul before he got saved, to ultimately have his eyes opened and finally be specially chosen by Yeshua to bring his gospel of salvation to the world? Could this be part of the process?
Momentous times for both Israel and the world.
