Three days left before the election in Israel,  Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu  expressed his "phobias" to the news agency, the Times of Israel.

In the interview Netanyahu complained of as he called it "unprecedented Soviet-style campaign" that is aimed at ousting him. When asked whether the Obama administration wanted him gone he particularly noted:

"There is an effort by leftist NGOs throughout the world, and left-leaning tycoons and consultants from various political parties, including from the United States, to try to bring down the Likud and me. They say so openly. They are conducting a campaign with tens of millions of dollars under the banner, ‘Anyone but Bibi.’ They understand that if I’m gone, the right will collapse. And that’s what they’re trying to do."
