There's lots of, you know, it's sort of out of the public eye.
But that, I think, was the one of the goals from the beginning, you know,

But also, you know, because Netanyahu, in order to stay in power, another corrupt deal, he makes a deal with the hard right and then goes very hard right.
It's not like he was ever a peacenik, but now he goes very, very, very hard right.

um helpers i mean not only was alexis bloom an extraordinary talented woman directing it but in israel you know we were aided by a guy named raviv drucker um who is a a noted journalist in israel helped us to contextualize some of this stuff but we had a sense that we had to keep it secret while we were making it and then we sort of launched um an event um

And then we were told at the last minute that, oh,
NBC has decided that we're not going to do the story because it would probably upset Netanyahu and that would limit our access to the prime minister.
