Alex Gibney

Well, it...

roughly speaking, you'd say it was bribery or you'd say it was corruption.

I mean, and I can detail the charges.

This is a film that I produced and it was directed by Alexis Bloom.

And back in 2023,

I got a strange message on Signal from somebody who said that they had all of the police interrogation videos from the Benjamin Netanyahu investigation.

And they had been investigating Netanyahu since 2016.

for charges of corruption that is to say trading on his position as prime minister to get money in all sorts of favors jewelry for his wife very expensive cuban cigars hundreds of millions of dollars in

forgiveness of certain loans in order to be able to get favorable coverage on a news website called Wallah.

So it was a pretty interesting case, and it went from the very small, meaning very expensive Cuban cigars from a rather famous movie producer named Arnon Milchan, to something very big, which is effectively a $250 million...

financial arrangement in exchange for coverage, good coverage for Netanyahu.

So it was a pretty big deal.

I can't say where they came from.

I can't say anything about the source.

But what I can say is we got over a thousand hours of tapes.

And these were interviews with Netanyahu himself by the police.

Also Netanyahu's wife, Sarah, his son, Yair.

Also with a number of key people close to Netanyahu.

For example, Nir Hefetz, his former head of communications.

Sheldon Adelson, who we know in this country as a billionaire now deceased, his wife Miriam Adelson, Arnon Milchan, a famous Israeli businessman, arms dealer, who also became a very famous motion picture producer.
