Thank you.

Nothing concentrates the mind.

like the prospect of being hanged.

With Netanyahu, nothing concentrates his mind more than the sound

of the prison gate slammed behind his back.

So everything that he has done over the last five years was

so focused on that sound of the gate potentially slammed

behind his back.

To fully understand the chaos in the region, one has to look back at the

Minister's legal predicament.

The corruption trial became a dominant factor in his decision -making.

The engine is the corruption cases.

And it all started with the fact that the Prime Minister does not respect the

law.

Anyone that dares to touch Mr. Netanyahu is doomed.

And after the catastrophe of the 7th of October, the war became another

instrument to stay in power.

He survived in a state of war. He survived in a state of instability.

He survived when we fight each other. He survived when our enemies fight each

other.

A forever war is beneficial to Netanyahu.

This makes people feel like they are always in danger, like they always need

him.

There's always some huge threat.

I think that that helps him.

remain prime minister.

It's not a cover -up. It's not that he tried to kill evidence.

He tried to kill the system.

He took all of us hostage in this trial.

I'm a political analyst for Channel 13 in the news company.

We did hundreds of investigative reports over the years on everybody.

Stories about Prime Minister Sharon, stories about Prime Minister Barack, and

did a lot of stories of Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Do the Netanyahu's know who you are?

The Netanyahu?

Yes, they know.

The Netanyahu's family and Mr.

Netanyahu singled me out as one of their worst enemies for the last 15 years or

so.

He sued me three times, but he received zero.

There was no case.

It got to the point that they demanded for my channel to fire me or at least

get me out to a long, long vacation.

if they want to get something for the government.

It was me or the channel.

Netanyahu, over the years, had many corruption cases.

In 1997, he was investigated for appointing the Attorney General in some

corrupt deal.

Later, he was interrogated for getting gifts.

Also, one case that starts from investigative reports that I made, it's

the submarines that Israel has with Germany.

But it was never prosecuted.

When you do something wrong and you get away with it once and twice and three

times and ten times and twenty times, you're beginning to think that you are

immune, that nothing will touch you.

So it wasn't long before Netanyahu was into trouble again.

The police, because it was a prime minister investigation, and they knew

that it will be very high profile.

They investigated everybody.

I mean, hundreds of people.

Some of the witnesses were interrogated twice, three times, four times.

You have a rare opportunity to see the most powerful people in Israel in

interrogation rooms dealing with questions that were never been asked.

What did you give? What did you get?

How many times you met him?

And you see people in the most...

10th part of their life.

. . . .

Netanyahu, he keeps surrounding almost in every part in the world someone like

sugar daddy.

Everything you need that is not supported by the country, he will do it

But when those guys have interest in Israel, business interest or some other

interest, then it became very, very problematic.

or from your family members, in the last decade, from business people, owners of

homes.

If I got a good offer, I got things from close friends, close friends,

like a cigar, things of that kind, but only from close friends. It's not a good

offer, to my understanding.

That's what I was told over the years.

Let's see who we meet.

Who are your close friends that you define as close friends?

Very close friends.

I've known them for many years.

There are a few of them.

My question is, who?

If you wanted to make a movie about a fabulously wealthy Israeli entrepreneur

who strikes it rich in Hollywood after a successful career as an international

arms dealer and undercover operative for his government, well, there's only one

person to produce it, Arnon Milchan.

It's his life story.

Arnon Milchan is an extraordinary story.

Arnon Milchan is an Israeli guy.

Rise to fame by becoming an Hollywood producer.

Congratulations.

He produced some of the biggest hits and even won an Oscar.

And he became a tycoon.

He is

the face.

in the U .S., but he always kept a really good contact in Israel,

mostly and especially with the prime minister.

Everybody knows that if you want to speak with the prime minister, go to

If you need something from the prime minister, go to Arnold.

This relationship, it's worth a lot.

No,

no, no.

This case, the facts are really kind of simple.

The Prime Minister and his wife, Sarah, were getting gifts worth a quarter of a

million dollars.

They really liked the good life.

And on the other side, Netanyahu did so many favors for Arnold Mielchen.

Some people think what Arnold Mielchen really did was bribe. He was bribing the

Prime Minister, and this was the allegation.

Government officials are not allowed to take gifts, period.

Period. This is corruption.

And we sent a president, a minister of finance, we sent them all to prison for

violating that principle, that nobody is above the law.

The previous prime minister, Mr.

Orman, he was investigated for a corrupt deal.

that were much, much less than the state indicted Netanyahu for and were sent to

jail.

So it's not something vague for Netanyahu.

I'm sure he has a real fear that in the end he will be sent to jail.

He might be 80 years old when it will happen, but it still can happen.

It starts with a flawed character.

It's this mindset.

I deserve it, and I can get away with it.

And it seemed to escalate with the years.

It mushroomed into something much more comprehensive.

If you're talking about if it comes in one box, I'm wondering if it's not

but if it's sold out over the years... There are tens of thousands of shekels a

year. I'm telling you, I didn't check it. I'm sorry, I'm a little...

It's okay, it's okay.

I'm a little less patient because it upsets me.

The situation that you're in right now, that's what I'm thinking.

Maybe Bibi brought me.

You know, I'm thinking.

This man ruined my life.

He knows that I work hard, it's hard work. He says, can I please my brother

works for the State of Israel a little bit? Not so much enjoy a public

organization, but get organized media investigations in the police.

He says, maybe if you please him, he'll send him a few cigarettes, right?

Yes, so he wants.

And that's also a crime, a real sin.

I was Arnold's personal assistant, and this includes everything.

So in the bottom of my heart, I knew that police would come one day, and I

phone call from a number that I didn't know.

It was a police from special unit.

They said, I can't tell you anything, and you are not allowed to talk to

about it. Just come.

The first question was about champagne and cigars and gifts.

That's like a formal status

is assistant to Mr. Arnold Mitchell.

Arnold Mitchell didn't make one call or almost no call to anyone.

Without putting Adas Klein on the line, she works with the most powerful people.

And she was very efficient, very effective, very good in her job.

Is it volunteered or is it demanded?

It's demanded.

It's demanded.

It was a supply line.

In the other room, I heard that there is Somebody else.

It was Shani.

Shani was part of our team.

The circle was very small.

Like, the circle of people who know.

It was a secret.

I don't know. And the champagnes were rotten.

I wouldn't use codes to talk to people. I also don't talk to my family and my

friends. As long as you do things that are less negative.

So it could be that you really use codes that we wouldn't understand, even

though it's funny.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Bibi's lawyer at the beginning of the scandal told him to resign and get out

politics.

But I think that he's worried more details will come out if he's not in

One thing I want to say at some point is that I'm dividing the person to two

persons.

It's Bibi on the one, my kind of Bibi, not the crowd kind of Bibi.

And then there's Netanyahu.

Otherwise, I can't handle the situation.

Is that okay?

It didn't have that many friends.

And I was like, why did all these people approach me? You're Bibi's friend.

And everybody says the same, but it's because he didn't have that many close

friends ever.

So, I'm the one.

He grew up in Jerusalem.

There's one photo that somebody took when we were like, I don't know, 10 or

and it's on the entrance to his home.

He was very much stronger than I am, and much bigger.

Yoni was his older brother.

I think he was three years apart.

They looked very much alike.

Same body structure, very similar.

They had a strong friendship, but admiration from Bibi to Yoni.

Yoni was like the star of the family.

The father and the mother didn't ignore it.

They were very much into admiration of strength and power.

I don't think I was a match -up, but Bibi was a match -up in many ways.

Good evening. Pro -Palestinian extremists hijacked an Air France jet to

Antebi Airport.

Israeli government ministers worked into the Jewish Sabbath tonight on

negotiations for the release of about 100 Israelis and other Jews from

Palestinian hijackers.

On July 4th, 1976, my brother Yoni, lieutenant colonel and commander, led

men to rescue hostages from Gantebe, Uganda, in the heart of Africa.

The terrorists were now certain that they were beyond Israel's reach.

This operation was something that was never done.

This magnitude to save so many people so far away, the whole thing is fantastic.

So much was written, and there's a movie about it.

Landing in the dead of night in Antebi Airport, Yoni's force killed the

terrorists, and they liberated 102 hostages.

You have only one person killed there. It was the commander of the unit, Yoni

Netanyahu.

He was a very young man.

So for Bibi, it was a major, major loss.

Yoni, my extraordinary older brother, instantly emerged from anonymity to

a person of exceptional intelligence and dedication to Israel.

He served as a model to be emulated.

Yoni's sacrifice and example helped me overcome inconsolable grief and thrust

into a public battle against terrorism.

Bibi sort of took over the first son's role.

And with the death of Yoni, it was like a platform.

Yoni's death was definitely the making of Bibi. There's no question about it.

It opened the door for something new to start.

And that's how it drove into politics.

Benjamin Netanyahu, like the country he represents, believes in attacking his

attackers. His job is to be an ambassador.

But his passion is a personal crusade against international terrorism and the

states that sponsor it.

The U .S. Embassy in Beirut tonight is a floodlit scene of death and

devastation. A car apparently packed with more than 300 pounds of explosives

blew up in the narrow drive at the entrance to the embassy.

I think that this attack was meant to serve as a symbolic psychological blow,

defeat for the United States.

In the question of terrorism, there's no neutrality.

There's no position of magisterial objectivity between good and evil.

You have to choose. You're either with the terrorists or you're against them.

Once he became a politician, He was a major, major expert on terrorism and a

protector of Israel.

Flight 847, the TWA flight, hijacked to Beirut, now under control of two armed

hijackers. They want the prisoners you're holding, the Lebanese Shiites.

you release them? They have not made a concrete demand, and our policy, as far

as possible, is not to concede to terrorist demands.

And certainly I believe, based on what I've heard from Washington, that that is

your policy as well.

His performance on television used to be masterpieces.

You don't surrender.

Whatever you do, you don't surrender to these killers.

Does the West have the will and the guts to fight back?

He knew exactly what to say, how to say it. He had this pleasant baritone, his

gestures. You slap them on the wrist.

You make them stop and pause. They try again.

You have to hit them again until they know that you're serious.

He became really perfected it. If they are going to be unpunished, they'll come

back again. There'll be other killings, other murders, and they're testing us.

He was a great performer, and it made him a very popular person.

He was the hero of the Jews, and he was the hero of the state of Israel,

standing against all those who hate the Jewish people and the state of Israel.

This was a great campaign without campaigning.

Benjamin Bibi Netanyahu, 46, thrice married father of three, right -wing

politician, and now Israeli Prime Minister.

He became prime minister, I think he was 46 years old.

Very young.

And he had the confidence.

It's an amazing success when you think about it.

Enormous.

His ambition brought him to the heights of success.

To become prime minister at the age that he did,

to exceed the founding father, Ben -Gurion, in the duration of his

premiership, he reached heights beyond anyone else.

But his moral flaws turned it all upside down.

I don't know.

I just say it. I tell you it's official.

Not once, not twice.

Thank you very

much.

First of all, Mr. Sarah Netanyahu is very important as a decision maker in

everything that goes around Mr. Netanyahu.

Benjamin Netanyahu is extremely skillful and knowledgeable and smart, but can we

trust you? So that's Sarah's responsibility.

So once you think that someone has the right skills, still Sarah needs to give

her approval that we...

The Netanyahu family can trust this guy or this lady.

She gets to decide who will be the advisor.

She gets to decide the schedule.

She gets to decide policy.

She's very, very important.

They are almost like copper that runs the country.

Sarah Netanyahu is much more than controversial.

It's been proved in court that Sarah Netanyahu abused workers,

treated them in the most humiliating way possible.

I started as a security guard for Bibi's children, Yair and Avner, and also for

Minister Netanyahu, former Prime Minister.

And in the second job, I was the father of the house.

The moment they were taken abroad to the White House and then returned to the

Prime Minister's house, it was very difficult for us.

They always wanted this treasure that they had there, that they saw there, all

the servants, and they just waited for it to be with us.

They just know how to steal, in some cases, how they steal things that don't

reach them.

And the restaurant is not ready to pay them, it has to turn the bills and write

all sorts of things.

She did what she wanted, and regarding the budget,

When Sarah got in the car, with all the cartons of champagne that the drivers

threw at them at the end of the show, Sarah was taking a glass to the road.

I was taking a glass of coffee, she was taking a glass of champagne to the road.

Why do you have to say, why do you have to say, why do you have to say, why

do you have to say, why do you have to say,

Sarah Netanyahu, she really feels that she is entitled to get all these things.

And she is scared from nothing.

She is still doing it today.

Just with different people.

We've been going from 1st to 6th in the same weeks, 20 times in the same week.

They don't remember. They don't remember. It means that it could be

it could be.

Do you think I'm reading the book?

I know that I'm reading it.

Maybe I'm reading a few other things that are related to our existence, yes?

few missiles are aimed at us, things like that. No, I'm not reading.

We work for 12 hours a day.

She works with the children, with cancer patients, with whatever you want.

And as a psychologist for children, there is no hope in life. I understood

completely differently.

Everything you are trying to present here, it is interrupted.

And the champagne and everything else, do you even take them with you? Or is it

that every time someone, the driver, drives the car?

How did you feel?

How did you feel?

Let me tell you how much

I felt. Let me tell you how much I felt.

Let me tell

you

how much I felt.

I think Bibi is afraid of Sarah.

Her screams at me are very familiar to me.

I was

in

shock from the level of the screams, and I also told Bibi.

Shishtot shouted at me, and I don't remember that I was working at...

Thirty years ago.

Netanyahu was involved in a sex scandal that was never been heard of in Jewish

and Israel of those days.

In Israel, this scandal is called the hot tape scandal.

We know

the name of the woman that was supposed to be in the hot tape.

Nobody ever saw the hot tape.

No one. But his response was panicky.

If I have a right, I have a right in this matter, and to my wife, to my

and to no one else, with all due respect. How did your wife respond to

of the things?

At 6 o 'clock last night, she called me.

At an hour when I was outside the house, in the collection of letters.

She threatened my wife, when she picked up the phone, that if she wouldn't

escape from the arrest to the arrest warrant, she would send me that

The question here is not the question of Benjamin Netanyahu, but of a

phenomenon,

It makes Sarah furious that you tell all Israeli public that you had a romance

with somebody else behind my back.

That was the moment that everything changed.

This shaped the relationship between Benjamin and Sarah Netanyahu.

who would be better off if she didn't put her nose into his politics.

And she's very unforgiving.

But I've got to tell you, I've got to be as honest with you as I can. I don't

think I'll continue the friendship.

I can't do anything that doesn't look legal.

It doesn't look legal.

It doesn't look good.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Sarah, from me, personally, asked and received.

I bought, I collected.

A necklace and a ring.

Later on, Sarah also asked for a gift for her birthday.

She always raised about 42 ,000 dollars.

And she said that her husband told her that he...

.

.

. .

He's a great actor.

He knows how to look relaxed.

But he's not relaxed at all.

He is very, very stressed because of it. Any one of us will be stressful if the

police will come to us with such an allegation.

But he knows how to play the game. And he knows that he's been filmed all the

time. He doesn't want to look bad.

I mean, he doesn't remember the diamond that Sarah received.

He was personally involved with it. He doesn't know anything about champagne

bottles that she received.

Come on. I mean, it was in his house, in his car.

He doesn't know about it.

It's ridiculous.

I mean, this is $250 ,000.

If you want to lie, you know you need a great memory.

You need a great memory to lie. He has a great memory.

I don't remember if I talked to him at

all. I don't remember if I talked to him.

He lies left and right.

Maybe lies left and right.

When lie for him is not something bad.

Seriously.

And it doesn't give him, it doesn't feel any problem with that.

The felony that Netanyahu is indicted in is called breach of trust.

It means that you put yourself in a very high risk of conflicts of interest.

Arno Michin has an access to the prime minister where other people don't get

this access.

Anytime he needs something, he can pick up the phone and find Netanyahu.

There is some law in Israel that help Arnold Mitchen to pay less

taxes. This law has a deadline.

And Mitchen wants this deadline to be pushing far off.

So Netanyahu is speaking with his finance minister, telling him, maybe

help Arnold, maybe we'll do it with this law, extend it for a few more years.

Any law that relates to taxes...

needs to go to Yair Lapid, the finance minister.

. .

.

. .

It's a good law. It's a good amendment.

Do you want to do it?

No. What can I do? What can I do?

What can I

do?

He tried to help Arnold Milchan in a few other things.

Arnold Milchan helped Israel in some ways to get all kinds of equipment to

our nuclear project, to build nuclear bombs.

This was 40 or 50 years ago.

Many people thought some of the things that he did was against the American

laws. A year later, he decided to brag about it and to tell it out loud.

It

made

someone in the American administration furious.

Not only he did it, but now he said it out loud.

So they decided to cut his visa.

And all his life he's been in the U .S.

Netanyahu speaks with the American ambassador in Israel.

He's calling Secretary of State, Mr. John Kerry, a few times.

His people speak with all kinds of people and putting pressure to take care

this thing and get Arnold Mnuchin's visa back.

Ultimately, it happened.

When you want to ask a favor for Secretary Kerry, when you deal with him

in Iran, Palestinians, all the rest, you want to ask for a favor, this

needs to be something very dramatic.

You don't want to waste your political capital for Arnold Milton's visa.

This is unheard of.

Thank you very much.

He is a moral and direct person in the world.

In my opinion, he is the strongest in the world as a leader.

He protects the country.

He was never so good to the country as he is now. Even from a political point

view. He leads the army in the world.

In the next three days, he will be with him in the White House. He will be there

in every corner of the world, just like a king.

. . . . .

He won the public opinion polls that did not deserve a 1st place victory.

Benjamin Netanyahu can start quietly a fourth term as Prime Minister.

Who can guarantee us that after four periods of silence, he can break and

do it at home?

It came to the point of what the French are saying, the

country is me.

When people serve for too long, it gets into their head.

And we saw the breaking point because the way he won the elections of 2015.

which was single -handedly.

The pause was predicting a loss, but he won, big time.

And he did something to the ego.

Around 2015, something changed.

It felt like he doesn't need to give any explanation to anybody at all, like a

scissor. And we need to obey the rules of not...

not of the kingdom of his majesty.

At that time, there were no police investigations.

There was no threat to his rule.

He was seen in Israel and also by Obama or Putin

as the most powerful leader that Israel

has ever had.

I want to remind you that I was the campaign manager.

You see that on the stage, I was standing with them too. It's me.

It's only three of us.

Bibi, Sarah, and myself.

It was a glamorous, wow, night, wow.

Do you remember near Hafez?

Near Hafez?

Who is Nir Hefetz?

I was the closest aide to Sarah Netanyahu and one of the closest to

Netanyahu. And I was the personal spokesman of the whole family.

Many, many people, and especially leaders, make the mistakes after such a

success. One decides to believe that they are untouchable, that they are

magicians.

Benjamin Netanyahu started believing what his wife has been telling him for

years.

You're the one.

If you were not born in Israel, if you were born in Michigan, you would be the

President of the United States of America, for sure.

I think this night was not only his biggest win, it was

also the day that he started to deteriorate.

And it ended.

Not as I expected, you know, life takes us to unexpected corners.

And in my opinion, after I become a leader, I think he will remember too.

Nir Hefetz became a very important witness because he is one of the

between the tycoon, Shaul Alovich, and the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

There is a big difference between Shaul Alovich and Arnold Mnuchin.

Shaul Alovich doesn't like the limelight at all. He never gave interviews.

He is very concentrating in doing money.

Tell us, please, about your friendship with Saul Alvich.

That's not right.

I can't explain it to you at this level.

But he told me, keep an eye on Saul.

Saul is a friend, he's important.

That was clear.

Keep an eye on Saul.

upgrading to become such a tycoon.

At the end of 2016, Alovich was in a state of panic.

He had a deadline paying back loans of billions of dollars to the banks.

And for Netanyahu, Alovich needs a signature that will allow him to

get a very quick cash, something around $200 million.

Bibi understood that Alovich needed a signature very badly.

Go to Netanyahu and give it to him.

Netanyahu read it.

What a liar.

What a liar.

Now, the question is what Netanyahu wants in return for this

signature.

It turns out that Shaulalovich is also the owner of a small

website called Wallah, a website with a news department.

WALA is an old Israeli website. It used to be a very popular website at certain

levels, the most popular in the country, when its audience was mostly young.

And that's one of the reasons that the Netanyahu family really wanted this

website to serve them.

The WALA website, which really reaches hundreds of thousands of people every

day, is very important.

Benyamin Netanyahu loves Wallah and wants good communication with Wallah.

And here begins the problematic relationship. Because Shaulalovich is

if he gives Netanyahu the control in his newspaper, in the Wallah website, then

he will be able to get the signature.

So, they had a secret meeting, and in the end, Netanyahu received full control

of Walla, and Shaul Alovitch got the signature.

The intervention and the attempt to intervene in WALA's initiatives were

every possible platform.

Telephone calls.

mails, sms, whatsapps, and at any time in the morning.

and there will always be people who will talk to Shaul to stop this propaganda

of ours.

Why did you stop the propaganda?

I don't know.

You probably don't understand it. You don't understand where I'm coming from.

But I see it as, I see it as, as one of the historical barriers to our

democracy. And after that, it's like, wow, that's terrible.

And we're coming to you like that.

Wow, that's terrible.

Netanyahu wanted to dress well, so that everyone who goes to Walla will think

that he is the leader, the king of Israel, the wonderful leader who leads

Israel.

He wanted his wife to have a good vision, to see in pictures how the

were, how they were, was it the right angle.

He wanted his son to dress as a very practical person and to do the right

always.

We felt like we were a restaurant serving one person.

He comes, and he wants this meat, and this meat, and this salad, and this

and he gets what he wants.

We used condiments like parsley, for example.

If there was a request for a lot of pictures, then to add a lot of parsley

the dish that comes out.

Less paprika is less criticism.

That it won't be too spicy.

But in fact, this restaurant does not serve the potential guests. There is

one family that someone gave her to invite her mother -in -law, whatever she

wants.

Shabbat shalom.

Thank you very much.

Yair Netanyahu, his son, became very important in this case.

Both of them, Yair and Sarah, represent a very brutal approach to

politics. A lot of power.

Never surrender, never compromise.

The obsession of Yair with media is similar a little bit to his father.

The Israeli media is a completely North Korean -style socialist communist

propaganda. I was blocked several times from Facebook for hate speech.

There are many examples to the influence of Yair.

You can see it.

That's what the Israeli media is doing, pretending to be objective,

but actually echoing the most radical Marxist agenda.

The common theme between the left in Israel, America and Europe is pushing

forward illegal immigration and illegal immigrants because they want to change

the identity of the country and make national identity obsolete.

Bibi told me one day I remember that

Yair can replace him.

I did this with my eyes. I didn't say a word.

My eyebrows went up.

You can replace him. First of all, you can't appoint your son.

Why can he be considered?

He said, well, you have the capability.

He really thinks that it's like the kingdom.

. . . . . .

I want to ask you a question.

I want to ask you a question.

Have you ever been involved in crimes or crimes in Israel?

No. If they were, like, they were giving us bribes and bribes, then I would like

to fix it. I tried to fix it.

Do you think that Mr.

Ben -Hai Yair will be the one who will lead the war?

That Ben -Hai Yair will lead the war? No.

Not at all.

He will not go anywhere.

He will not go anywhere.

He will not go anywhere. He will not go anywhere. He will not go anywhere. He

will not go anywhere.

He will not go anywhere.

I thought that because they are the right wing, maybe there will be more

pressure, maybe there will be more chances that they will be more

there will be a more balanced communication.

When

Ilan

Yeshua, the leader of Walla Piterotim, plays the host, So he couldn't tell me

that. So he told me, look, I think you don't know how to manage your people

enough, and that's why I suggest that you don't be the lifeguard.

But of course, after I found out the details, I understood.

I understood that it was...

Hello.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Is this the guy you were talking about? Yes.

Is this the guy you were talking about? Yes.

This is a very conventional procedure to confront people.

You have a witness who is saying A, and the other guy saying B, and all of a

sudden one of them understands that the other one spoke against him. Maybe he

will sit in jail because of this guy.

It's a crime to destroy your phone when you know.

that it might contain evidence.

All of his phones carried nothing. They destroyed them and they erased

everything.

But

then,

Ilan Yeshua, general manager of Wallah, goes to the police.

with his cell phone, gives all the text messages.

All the recordings that Ilan Ishwar did with them, Shaul Alovitch and Mr.

Netanyahu, they knew nothing about it. They were called by surprise.

We can't finish it because of the

fascist group. The big one surprises me. For the better, every day the most

important things have to find a way to finish it. What do you want to finish,

Eron?

The police sometimes attack him with all kinds of things, and he's like banging

on the table.

To what kind of low level you will get to try to catch me?

I'm sure he has a real fear that in the end, he will send to jail.

And this is very scary to his legacy, to his freedom, to everything.

Both of them say the same thing, and he doesn't care where to come from. These

are the ones who say these things.

What's wrong with you? And you take this seriously.

And why don't you...

Today,

my message to the powerful party of the Prime Minister,

When they published the criminal charges against him, I called him up and I

said, what's going to happen?

This is serious business. They would not bring these up without good evidence.

I said to him, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, you're in trouble.

And it's going to end up with jail.

And he gave his usual story. It's terrible. There's no democracy in the

that would do this.

In an attempt to turn the government against the Prime Minister into a double

-edged sword, and in an exorbitant and scandalous process of investigation.

The scientists did not press on the evidence that would tell the truth.

They raised them at the expense of the nation so that they would say a lie.

I think that everyone, everyone who heard me now needs to be exorbitant.

In what democracy, in what law system, is there...

Benjamin Netanyahu was before a judge a short time ago saying he's not guilty of

bribery, fraud and breach of trust charges.

from his prime minister's office.

It's absurd.

You're supposed to resign.

Everybody did it.

He's the only one who didn't.

Unnecessary.

Unnecessary. As a result of arrogance.

Arrogance. He was challenging the system.

He said, no, I'm above. I'm beyond. No one can touch me. You dare not do it.

if you do it, this is manipulation.

After the indictment, the center -left parties in Israel, they all decided to

ban him.

It made him more right -wing in his position, and it made him dependent on

extreme right in Israel.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has nurtured the extreme right to boost

coalition numbers.

Netanyahu needs the far -right's backing as he tries to swerve corruption

charges, which he denies.

He has officially formed the country's most far -right ever government.

With some of those fringe, vile figures in all of Israeli politics.

Their opponents call them pyromaniacs as they portray themselves as

patriots.

Without Netanyahu, the fascist extreme right were considered not legitimate

players within the Israeli political system.

They were considered very extreme and nobody wanted to touch them or deal with

them.

You just have to listen to Smotrich and to Ben -Gur.

Smotrich is a Jewish terrorist.

He had all the instruments in order to use it

for a terror action.

But he kept silent.

And because we do not interrogate Jewish terrorists the way we interrogate

Palestinian terrorists, he did not confess.

And this is why he was not in jail.

When it comes to Ben -Gvir, he supported the assassination of Prime Minister

Rabin when he was a youngster.

He was once filmed holding a hood emblem he claimed was from the car of former

Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, an architect of the Israeli -Palestinian

peace process.

A Jewish extremist assassinated Rabin three weeks later.

Ben -Gvir, he was not recruited to military service because he was

court and one who supports Jewish terror.

He's the follower of a racist movement and wants to expel what he calls

Arabs.

I love Israel and I love...

In occupied East Jerusalem, he pulled out his gun, calling for Palestinians

throw stones to be shot.

He sees violence as a legitimate action.

These are people that Netanyahu would not agree to take picture with just two,

three years ago.

But now Smotrich is the Minister of Finance and Ben -Gurion is the Minister

National Security.

He is now captive to their whims.

They are pro -expansion of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank,

retaking land they believe belongs to them.

These people are messianic annexationists.

Jewish supremacists?

These

people

want to settle Gaza and the West Bank.

But since the beginning of Netanyahu's rule and his extremist gangs, crimes

been committed in the West Bank.

In 2004, we were headed to Hadith Sir, an area...

There are settlers who attack houses and destroy them.

They want to destroy houses like the rest of the villages. We entered the

in great danger.

The occupation and the settlers suggested that there is a rescue team to

the injured people in the site.

I send my regards to those who are with us.

They killed him.

I mean, he bled his blood in the rescue vehicle in a very large density.

It means that you can't save him.

You can't help him.

We're not carrying weapons.

We're not carrying... We're saving.

And because we're helping people, the sick and the injured, things

that humans never imagined were implemented during this era.

The minister, the extremist Ben -Kefir, his name is Trish, and also the presence

of his government's president, Ben -Yamin Netanyahu.

I think one

of the most unknown issues regarding Israel is that 20 % of the population

Arab Palestinians.

For a Palestinian who lives in the state of Israel,

Being a member of the Knesset is a very, very complicated issue.

You never go happy to work.

This man is now the minister that is controlling the police.

And he is bringing his racist, violent ideology in all the policing

system inside Israel.

Smotrich would do ethnic cleansing based on his published plan.

That's Bibi's governing coalition.

For them, Benjamin Smotrich, they have zero interest in the corruption cases

because Netanyahu is the Messiah's donkey.

He can bring us all our fantasies, all our dreams.

Our vision to annex Judea and Sumeria could kill one

time for all the idea of Palestinian state.

So what happened in 2023?

What was the difference between 2003 and the 20 years that came before?

Only one thing.

The Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court was perceived by his partners, the Benghvirs, the Smotriches,

as the rival of what they want to achieve.

Because if you are an annexationist, the Supreme Court might stop you.

So you need to castrate the Supreme Court from being able to stop you.

At the same time, Netanyahu realized judicial reform could

be a way...

to legislate his way out of his legal predicament.

Netanyahu looked at the Supreme Court as an immediate, direct, personal threat

to him.

It was a week after the government was formed.

Netanyahu presented a very drastic, very aggressive reform against the legal

system.

And it just put all Israel in turmoil.

The people said enough is enough.

The legal reform that he wanted made it so Netanyahu would appoint the judges

that will hear his appeal.

I mean, it was, and it was transparent.

He wanted to avoid any prison time.

He wanted to change the way we elect judges.

We need to change the power that they have, so they will have much less power,

the Supreme Court. We need to change the police. We need to change the attorney

general. We need to choose a different attorney general.

He wanted to break.

the bones of the system before they are coming close to

determine his political and personal fate.

What do you say to your critics who say that this reform was designed in part

for you to protect yourself?

I think it's ridiculous. It has nothing to do with my trial.

There is no question in my mind that the burden of the investigation, the fear

of the investigation.

just led him to take terrible decisions that were completely affected by his

fears and his agony.

Jail is a threat.

And he can identify threat more than any other person whom I

met. Because he is always afraid.

What do you say to people who say, you're only trying to override the

because... of your own interests?

None of the reforms. That's false. None of the reforms that we're talking about,

these democratic reforms, have anything to do with my trial.

All these people protesting just don't get it. Many, many of them don't. Many

them... Isn't that slightly patronizing, Prime Minister? No, I don't think so.

To tell your own people who are protesting hundreds of thousands... I

that all of them don't.

Do you accept the premise that the public is upset about this?

Oh, some of it is upset. You wouldn't know about the other side that wants to

have the judicial reform because their demonstrations are not covered. So, yes,

there is a divided country right now.

The public response was the most massive demonstration that we had seen ever on

any issue. And it was week after week after week for something like 39 weeks.

It was young and old and religious people even came.

And, of course, secular and kids.

My kids were in the street.

Your cameraman was beaten many times, I believe, and was arrested or whatever

happened to him.

Everybody was in the street.

Bibi made major mistakes.

What he did to my country is terrible.

It was really unforgivable.

And he knows what he's doing.

It's not that he doesn't know.

It was too much.

At that point, I saw him coming out, and I'm speaking in public.

Netanyahu's legal predicament was undermining our security.

The army started to say that, look, our enemies are watching us.

We were weak.

but not because of the protests, because of the policies that he led.

And it was clear to me that our resilience is falling apart.

It creates a huge danger, security danger, because our enemies understand

it, sometimes earlier than we do.

Hey, hey, hey.

I didn't expect October 7th to happen.

I didn't expect it, but I wish I could say I was surprised.

Things have been heating up for a while.

I'm not very old, I'm 20 years old, but for my entire life I have known

bombs and war and now this situation.

I was raised in Kibbutz Bere in the Negev, which is in the south of this

The Kibbutz is very based on community.

There's a lot of agriculture and nature.

It's not that big, everybody knows everybody else, and we're a very tight

community in that sense.

On October 7th, people from Hama entered my Kibbutz.

in the early morning and started burning houses and

murdering people.

Over 90 people that I used to know are dead now.

Which is a lot to grapple with.

It's a lot to comprehend.

There are people that are still held hostage, as well as people that we don't

know where they are.

Bibi has not been to Bari since October 7th. And I don't want him to come,

because I would never welcome him in my home.

He was prime minister ever since I can remember.

And living on the border, I always felt...

the effects of that, negative effects of that always, of his choices and his

policies and how that affected me, and later his corruption as well.

And I don't want to hear his name. I don't want to see his face.

I'm exhausted of him.

Keep your friends close, keep your enemies close.

For October 7th, as the one who fed the beat.

He did not create Hamas, but he fed it.

Netanyahu, who is against peace, and who is against having a Palestinian

state, dealt with Hamas for a long time as a

strategic friend.

It was important for him to keep Gaza under the control of Hamas

and keeping the West Bank under the control of Fatah and preventing them

from being united in any way.

In order to do so,

Netanyahu was all the time helping Hamas to survive.

At the same time that he was under investigation, he arranged for Hamas to

receive $35 million every month from Qatar.

Netanyahu can't give the money by himself.

He will not give money to the Hamas.

You cannot even transfer this money through banks.

Because even the banks don't want to cooperate.

So you, the Israeli Prime Minister, need to beg this small and very rich

country, Qatar, to give money to our enemies.

These suitcases of money were given to Hama under the request

of Benjamin Netanyahu personally.

And because the Qatarians knew him from the beginning,

They were asking him to send them his request and writing because

they knew that he's going to lie in the future.

He allowed more than one billion to be transferred to the hands of the Hamas

because he believed that he can control the level of hatred.

It's nonsense.

He cannot control the flames.

If you can't make a price, you can't believe it.

And I know how to make a price.

Your strategy was keep Hamas there, weaken the Palestinian Authority on the

Bank, sustain the extremists, weaken the moderate.

This exploded in our faces in the most brutal way on October 7th.

Bibi tells the world again and again and again, I'm the expert on terrorism.

I know how to fight terrorism.

I'm the protector of Israel.

And under his regime, we get into this incredible,

unbelievable war.

Citizens of Israel, we are in a war.

Not in an operation, not in a war, in a war.

My neighbors and my kibbutz being killed. And it continues with my

Gaza being killed.

The death toll inside Gaza now surpasses 15 ,000 Palestinians. 20 ,000 people.

Now more than 25 ,000. 30 ,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza

October 7.

The far right in Israel wants a constant war, never -ending war, because they

think in their fantasy that we can eradicate the Hamas from Gaza Strip and

we can eliminate Hezbollah from Lebanon.

And maybe we can have a Jewish presence in Gaza Strip and in South Lebanon.

The people who are talking about a military solution, I mean...

What's happening right now is not a solution. It's just a massacre in Gaza.

I don't think that makes anything in our future better and anything in our

present better. It's just horrible.

This death, this pain, this cruelty became bigger and bigger and bigger.

As the Gaza war continues, so too does the hostage crisis.

Despite the return of dozens of kidnapped Israelis during the temporary

many more still remain in Gaza.

I'm waiting for the government to bring me my son Matan. I can't wait anymore.

I can't sit at home and wait. My son should be home yesterday, now.

The kidnapped must come home. Now. This minute.

Everybody should.

Dream about it. It can be longer. It cannot be longer like this.

In my judgment, hostages come first and foremost above any other objective

of the war.

We know that not all of them are surviving.

Destroying Hamas can wait.

But the hostages cannot wait another day.

But Bibi's government, they are not willing to hear.

of ending the war.

to put her as some kind of tag in a Chinese campaign.

Chinese? Yes. Wait, wait, wait. I think she's one of the dilemmas... Did you

call it a Chinese campaign now?

Yes.

What's Chinese?

What's Chinese? And the fact that we're... No.

You asked.

You're the one who asked.

We're free.

We're free. We're free.

We're free.

Your hostage families, they ask for a meeting with the prime

minister because they are desperate.

In this desperation mode, they come to him and she's sitting next to him.

There were some reports about things that she said in those meetings, trying

encourage them to say good things about the Prime Minister or else, why should

we help them?

The Haussitz family, they don't like it.

But if your son or father is in the hands of the Hamas, you will do

Flatter her.

Say good things about her. Drive a picture with her.

Whatever she needs.

Instead of having the Prime Minister say, let me tell you everything I can

about your beloved one, about the efforts to release them.

Instead of that, you need to flatter the wife of the Prime Minister.

I said, oh, Sarah, you're so helpful and thank you so much for investing the

time and the energy.

The hostage families are in a very delicate situation.

Like almost every hostage family I know is very, very critical of Netanyahu.

But I know that many of them are very, very scared to speak their criticism

that if they do, the government will try even less for the hostages.

What is the higher priority at this moment? Totally eliminating Hamas or

the lives of the hostages and getting them free? The reason we succeeded in

getting 100...

Ten hostages doubt that half the hostages is because we applied military

pressure, not because we stopped applying this. We understand also that

thing that gets Hamas to give them, to give these hostages to us, is the

continued military pressure. The only thing that gets Hamas to release the

hostages is military pressure.

The argument that only military pressure will produce a deal proved

tragically erroneous.

And yet the war continues aimlessly.

I mean, is the objective the last?

Hamas soldier with a weapon in a tunnel?

That will take years.

And how many casualties?

I think we have to finish the job. We can't finish the job. Victory is within

reach. And that's our goal, total victory.

Our fight is your fight. And our victory is your victory. Tonight I want to

speak to you about total victory.

Total victory over Hamas. Unless we have total victory, we can't have peace.

Total victory doesn't actually mean anything here in actuality. You know all

casualties and death and suffering, and that's what it looks like in reality.

That's what it looks like. That's what those words actually mean.

My dear friend,

the war in Gaza could end tomorrow if Hamas surrenders, disarms, and returns

the hostages.

That's what total victory means, and we will settle for nothing less.

Netanyahu goes to Congress because he needs the Americans desperately.

My friends, I came to assure you today of one thing.

We will win.

He wants the Israeli public to be proud to have their leader taking...

front of this very prestigious group and getting applauded so many

times.

He's speaking to the American Congress, but he's really speaking to the Israeli

public. Together we shall defend our common civilization.

Together we shall secure a brilliant future for both our nations.

Well, I would say that tragically, The Americans don't know how to call him

There was no plan for ending the war of Gaza, bringing the hostages home, and

changing dynamics in the region.

And things don't look that way.

Netanyahu is the architect of chaos.

And as we speak, When all eyes are on the front in Gaza and the front in

Lebanon,

he

is implementing his plan in the West Bank with the extreme right.

He may create a situation where it's irreversible.

The great example of a leader that leads his people to the

wrong place.

But this is the reality in which he will preserve his political power.

And he knows how to manipulate.

He needs it, in a way.

Thank you.
