1
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,450
<i>Nothing concentrates the mind</i>

2
00:01:22,580 --> 00:01:25,020
<i>like the prospect of being hanged.</i>

3
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,730
<i>With Netanyahu,
nothing concentrates his mind</i>

4
00:01:30,850 --> 00:01:33,320
<i>more than the sound</i>

5
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,820
of the prison gate

6
00:01:35,950 --> 00:01:37,780
slammed behind his back.

7
00:01:54,570 --> 00:01:57,730
So, everything that he has done

8
00:01:57,850 --> 00:02:00,450
over the last five years

9
00:02:00,580 --> 00:02:03,380
was so focused

10
00:02:03,510 --> 00:02:06,580
on that sound of the gate

11
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,980
potentially slammed behind his back.

12
00:02:25,490 --> 00:02:29,040
<i>To fully understand
the chaos in the region,</i>

13
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,230
<i>one has to look back
at the Prime Minister's legal predicament.</i>

14
00:02:35,070 --> 00:02:38,450
<i>The corruption trial
became a dominant factor</i>

15
00:02:38,570 --> 00:02:40,700
<i>in his decision-making.</i>

16
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,390
The engine is the corruption cases.

17
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,980
<i>And it all started with the fact
that the Prime Minister</i>

18
00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:53,270
<i>does not respect the law.</i>

19
00:02:55,310 --> 00:02:58,540
Anyone that dared to touch Mr Netanyahu

20
00:02:58,670 --> 00:03:00,440
is doomed.

21
00:03:05,780 --> 00:03:09,980
<i>And after the catastrophe
of the 7th of October,</i>

22
00:03:10,110 --> 00:03:13,500
<i>the war became
another instrument to stay in power.</i>

23
00:03:16,610 --> 00:03:19,490
<i>He survive in a state of war.</i>

24
00:03:19,610 --> 00:03:22,950
<i>He survive in a state of instability.</i>

25
00:03:23,790 --> 00:03:27,000
He survive when we fight each other.

26
00:03:27,140 --> 00:03:30,430
He survive
when our enemies fight each other.

27
00:03:32,140 --> 00:03:37,310
<i>A forever war
is beneficial to Netanyahu.</i>

28
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,860
This make people feel like
they are always in danger,

29
00:03:42,030 --> 00:03:43,490
like they always need him.

30
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,080
<i>There's always some huge threat.</i>

31
00:03:50,580 --> 00:03:54,460
<i>I think that
that helps him remain Prime Minister.</i>

32
00:04:02,380 --> 00:04:07,390
It's not a cover-up.
It's not that he tried to kill evidence.

33
00:04:07,510 --> 00:04:09,720
He tried to kill the system!

34
00:04:09,850 --> 00:04:13,060
<i>He took all of us hostage in this trial.</i>

35
00:04:45,550 --> 00:04:49,100
<i>I am a political analyst
for Channel 13.</i>

36
00:04:49,230 --> 00:04:51,350
<i>In the news company...</i>

37
00:04:51,470 --> 00:04:54,770
<i>we did hundreds of investigative reports
over the years,</i>

38
00:04:54,890 --> 00:04:56,240
<i>on everybody.</i>

39
00:04:56,370 --> 00:04:58,600
<i>Stories about Prime Minister Sharon,</i>

40
00:04:58,730 --> 00:05:00,810
<i>stories about Prime Minister Barak,</i>

41
00:05:00,940 --> 00:05:04,400
<i>and I did a lot of the stories
of Prime Minister Netanyahu.</i>

42
00:05:07,820 --> 00:05:10,620
Do the Netanyahus
know who you are?

43
00:05:10,740 --> 00:05:13,950
"Do the Netanyahus...?"
Yes, they know.

44
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,460
<i>The Netanyahus family
and Mr Netanyahu</i>

45
00:05:17,580 --> 00:05:21,340
<i>single me out
as one of their worst enemies</i>

46
00:05:21,460 --> 00:05:23,150
<i>for the last 15 years or so.</i>

47
00:05:24,250 --> 00:05:26,130
<i>He sued me three times.</i>

48
00:05:26,260 --> 00:05:28,340
<i>But he received zero.</i>

49
00:05:28,470 --> 00:05:30,490
<i>There was no case.</i>

50
00:05:32,470 --> 00:05:37,140
<i>It got to the point that they
demanded for my channel to fire me,</i>

51
00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:41,730
or at least get me out
to a long, long vacation...

52
00:05:41,860 --> 00:05:44,400
if they want to get something
from the government.

53
00:05:44,530 --> 00:05:46,810
It was me or the channel.

54
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:54,830
<i>Netanyahu, over the years,
had many corruption cases.</i>

55
00:05:54,950 --> 00:05:56,700
<i>In 1997,</i>

56
00:05:56,830 --> 00:06:00,670
<i>he was investigated for
appointing the attorney general</i>

57
00:06:00,790 --> 00:06:02,850
<i>in some corrupt deal.</i>

58
00:06:04,170 --> 00:06:09,050
<i>Later, he was interrogated
for getting gifts.</i>

59
00:06:11,590 --> 00:06:17,930
<i>Also, one case that starts
from investigative reports that I made,</i>

60
00:06:18,060 --> 00:06:22,860
<i>it's about the submarines deal
that Israel has with Germany.</i>

61
00:06:22,980 --> 00:06:25,120
<i>But he was never prosecuted.</i>

62
00:06:28,990 --> 00:06:32,530
When you do something wrong
and you get away with it,

63
00:06:32,660 --> 00:06:36,080
once, and twice, and three times,
and 10 times, and 20 times,

64
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,370
you are beginning to think
you are immune,

65
00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:40,120
that nothing will touch you.

66
00:06:42,210 --> 00:06:47,130
<i>So, it wasn't long before
Netanyahu was into trouble, again.</i>

67
00:07:26,210 --> 00:07:30,920
The police, because it was
a Prime Minister investigation

68
00:07:31,050 --> 00:07:35,800
and they knew that it
will be very high-profile,

69
00:07:35,930 --> 00:07:37,890
they investigated everybody.

70
00:07:38,010 --> 00:07:39,680
<i>I mean hundreds of people.</i>

71
00:07:39,810 --> 00:07:43,100
<i>Some of the witnesses
were interrogated twice,</i>

72
00:07:43,230 --> 00:07:45,980
<i>three times, four times.</i>

73
00:07:46,100 --> 00:07:48,690
<i>You have a rare opportunity</i>

74
00:07:48,820 --> 00:07:51,610
<i>to see the most powerful people in Israel</i>

75
00:07:51,740 --> 00:07:54,820
<i>in interrogation rooms,</i>

76
00:07:54,950 --> 00:07:58,490
<i>dealing with questions
that were never being asked.</i>

77
00:07:58,620 --> 00:08:00,450
"What did you give? What did you get?

78
00:08:00,580 --> 00:08:02,910
"How many times you met him?"

79
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,010
<i>And you see people
in the most tense part of their life.</i>

80
00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:05,350
<i>Netanyahu, he keeps around him,</i>

81
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,730
<i>almost in every part in the world,</i>

82
00:09:08,850 --> 00:09:11,440
<i>someone like a sugar daddy.</i>

83
00:09:11,570 --> 00:09:15,400
Everything you need
that was not supported by the country,

84
00:09:15,530 --> 00:09:16,860
he will do it for you.

85
00:09:16,980 --> 00:09:21,370
But when those guys
has interest in Israel...

86
00:09:21,490 --> 00:09:23,910
business interests
or some other interest...

87
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,250
then it became very, very problematic.

88
00:10:16,710 --> 00:10:18,380
<i>If you wanted to make a movie</i>

89
00:10:18,510 --> 00:10:21,000
<i>about a fabulously wealthy
Israeli entrepreneur</i>

90
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,010
<i>who strikes it rich in Hollywood</i>

91
00:10:23,130 --> 00:10:26,850
<i>after a successful career
as an international arms dealer</i>

92
00:10:26,970 --> 00:10:29,640
<i>and undercover
operative for his government,</i>

93
00:10:29,770 --> 00:10:32,770
<i>well, there's only one person
to produce it - Arnon Milchan.</i>

94
00:10:32,900 --> 00:10:34,710
<i>It's his life story.</i>

95
00:10:37,940 --> 00:10:40,740
<i>Arnon Milchan, it's a...</i>

96
00:10:40,860 --> 00:10:43,160
it's extraordinary story.

97
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,200
<i>Arnon Milchan is an Israeli guy</i>

98
00:10:45,330 --> 00:10:50,580
<i>who rise to fame by becoming
a Hollywood producer.</i>

99
00:10:50,710 --> 00:10:52,170
Congratulations.

100
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,380
<i>He produced
some of the biggest hits,</i>

101
00:10:57,500 --> 00:10:59,550
<i>and even won Oscars.</i>

102
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,760
<i>And he became a tycoon.</i>

103
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,650
<i>He's based in the US,</i>

104
00:11:16,770 --> 00:11:21,310
<i>but he always kept
a really good contacts in Israel.</i>

105
00:11:22,820 --> 00:11:25,780
Mostly and especially
with the Prime Minister.

106
00:11:26,910 --> 00:11:30,200
<i>Everybody knows that if you want
to speak with the Prime Minister,</i>

107
00:11:30,330 --> 00:11:32,210
<i>go to Arnon.</i>

108
00:11:32,330 --> 00:11:34,790
<i>If you need something from
the Prime Minister, go to Arnon.</i>

109
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,210
<i>This relationship, it's worth a lot.</i>

110
00:12:41,730 --> 00:12:45,280
This case, the facts are really...
kind of simple.

111
00:12:47,860 --> 00:12:50,280
<i>The Prime Minister
and his wife, Sara,</i>

112
00:12:50,410 --> 00:12:54,660
<i>were getting gifts
worth a quarter of a million dollars.</i>

113
00:12:54,790 --> 00:12:58,170
<i>They really liked the good life.</i>

114
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:01,340
And on the other side,

115
00:13:01,460 --> 00:13:05,290
<i>Netanyahu did so many favours
for Arnon Milchan.</i>

116
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:11,010
Some people think
what Arnon Milchan really did was bribe.

117
00:13:11,140 --> 00:13:12,680
He was bribing the Prime Minister,

118
00:13:12,810 --> 00:13:15,560
<i>and this was the allegation.</i>

119
00:13:18,650 --> 00:13:23,440
Government officials
are not allowed to take gifts, period.

120
00:13:23,570 --> 00:13:24,610
Period!

121
00:13:24,730 --> 00:13:26,280
This is corruption.

122
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,430
<i>And we sent a president,</i>

123
00:13:29,550 --> 00:13:31,580
<i>a minister of finance,</i>

124
00:13:31,700 --> 00:13:35,000
we sent them all to prison
for violating that principle,

125
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,790
that nobody is above the law.

126
00:13:40,670 --> 00:13:43,630
<i>The previous prime minister,
Mr Olmert,</i>

127
00:13:43,750 --> 00:13:47,010
<i>he was investigated for corrupt deals</i>

128
00:13:47,130 --> 00:13:51,680
<i>that were much, much less
than the State indicted Netanyahu for...</i>

129
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,350
<i>...and was sent to jail.</i>

130
00:13:55,470 --> 00:13:59,480
<i>So, it's not something vague
for Netanyahu.</i>

131
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,310
I'm sure he has a real fear that
in the end,

132
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,820
he will send to jail.

133
00:14:03,940 --> 00:14:07,150
He might be 80 years old
when it will happen,

134
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,150
but it still can happen.

135
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,900
<i>It starts
with a flawed character.</i>

136
00:14:43,810 --> 00:14:46,090
<i>It's his mindset.</i>

137
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,740
"I deserve it,
and I can get away with it."

138
00:14:50,860 --> 00:14:54,770
<i>And it seemed to escalate with the years.</i>

139
00:14:57,870 --> 00:15:01,520
<i>It mushroomed into something
much more comprehensive.</i>

140
00:16:12,900 --> 00:16:16,280
<i>I was Arnon's personal assistant,</i>

141
00:16:16,410 --> 00:16:18,870
<i>and this includes everything.</i>

142
00:16:19,990 --> 00:16:24,160
<i>So, in the bottom of my heart,
I knew that police will come one day.</i>

143
00:16:25,460 --> 00:16:28,040
And I got a phone call...

144
00:16:28,170 --> 00:16:30,960
which... from a number that I didn't know.

145
00:16:31,090 --> 00:16:34,340
It was a police from Special Unit.

146
00:16:34,470 --> 00:16:35,970
They said, "I can't tell you anything,

147
00:16:36,090 --> 00:16:38,850
"and you are not allowed
to talk to anybody about it,

148
00:16:38,970 --> 00:16:40,010
"just come."

149
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:46,380
<i>The first question was about
champagne and cigars and gifts.</i>

150
00:16:58,620 --> 00:17:01,330
Hadas Klein, her formal status is

151
00:17:01,450 --> 00:17:03,830
"assistant to Mr Arnon Milchan."

152
00:17:03,950 --> 00:17:07,230
Arnon Milchan didn't make one call,

153
00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:09,540
almost no call to anyone,

154
00:17:09,670 --> 00:17:12,000
without putting Hadas Klein on the line.

155
00:17:12,130 --> 00:17:15,340
She works with the most powerful people.

156
00:17:15,470 --> 00:17:19,010
And she was very efficient,
very effective.

157
00:17:19,140 --> 00:17:20,620
<i>Very good in her job.</i>

158
00:17:49,330 --> 00:17:52,540
Is it volunteered, or is it demanded?

159
00:17:52,670 --> 00:17:54,380
It's demanded.

160
00:17:54,500 --> 00:17:55,800
It's demanded.

161
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,720
Its was... It was a supplyment line.

162
00:18:04,350 --> 00:18:08,890
<i>In the other room,
I heard that there is somebody else.</i>

163
00:18:09,020 --> 00:18:12,720
<i>It was Shani.
Shani was part of our team.</i>

164
00:18:14,820 --> 00:18:17,070
The circle was very small...

165
00:18:17,190 --> 00:18:19,610
like, the circle of people who knows.

166
00:18:19,740 --> 00:18:22,390
<i>It was a secret!</i>

167
00:20:07,220 --> 00:20:10,470
<i>Bibi's lawyer,
at the beginning of this scandal,</i>

168
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,960
<i>told him to resign
and get out of politics.</i>

169
00:20:15,730 --> 00:20:19,280
<i>But I think that he's worried
more details will come out</i>

170
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:20,940
<i>if he's not in power.</i>

171
00:20:24,700 --> 00:20:27,030
One thing I want to say at some point...

172
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,380
is that I'm dividing the person
into two persons.

173
00:20:31,500 --> 00:20:34,080
It's Bibi on the one...
My kind of Bibi,

174
00:20:34,210 --> 00:20:38,380
not the crowd kind of Bibi,
and then there's Netanyahu.

175
00:20:38,500 --> 00:20:41,210
Otherwise, I can't handle the situation.

176
00:20:41,340 --> 00:20:42,990
Is that okay?

177
00:20:44,090 --> 00:20:46,930
He didn't have that many friends...

178
00:20:47,050 --> 00:20:48,520
and I was...

179
00:20:48,650 --> 00:20:51,220
Why is it that always people approach me,

180
00:20:51,350 --> 00:20:53,940
"You're Bibi's friend?"
And everybody says the same,

181
00:20:54,060 --> 00:20:57,300
but it's because he didn't have
that many close friends ever.

182
00:20:59,020 --> 00:21:00,760
So...

183
00:21:02,020 --> 00:21:03,440
...I'm the one.

184
00:21:13,330 --> 00:21:16,460
<i>We grew up in Jerusalem.</i>

185
00:21:16,580 --> 00:21:19,250
<i>There's one photo that somebody took
when we were, like,</i>

186
00:21:19,380 --> 00:21:23,630
<i>I don't know, 10 or 11,
and it's on the entrance to his home.</i>

187
00:21:23,750 --> 00:21:27,170
<i>He was very much stronger than I am,
and much bigger.</i>

188
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,810
<i>Yoni was his older brother.</i>

189
00:21:32,930 --> 00:21:35,770
<i>I think he was three years apart.</i>

190
00:21:35,890 --> 00:21:37,810
<i>They looked very much alike.</i>

191
00:21:37,940 --> 00:21:40,860
<i>Same body structure, very similar.</i>

192
00:21:42,110 --> 00:21:45,900
<i>They had a strong friendship,
admiration from Bibi to Yoni.</i>

193
00:21:46,030 --> 00:21:49,950
<i>Yoni was like the star of the family.</i>

194
00:21:50,070 --> 00:21:52,870
<i>The father and the mother
didn't ignore it.</i>

195
00:21:54,580 --> 00:21:59,580
<i>They were very much into
admiration of strength and power.</i>

196
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,960
I don't think I was a macho,
but Bibi was a macho,

197
00:22:05,090 --> 00:22:07,220
in many ways.

198
00:22:07,340 --> 00:22:10,430
<i>Good evening.
Pro-Palestinian extremists</i>

199
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,470
<i>have hijacked an Air France jet
to Uganda's Entebbe Airport.</i>

200
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,010
<i>Israeli government ministers
worked into the Jewish Sabbath tonight</i>

201
00:22:17,130 --> 00:22:19,690
<i>on negotiations
for the release of about 100 Israelis</i>

202
00:22:19,810 --> 00:22:22,810
<i>and other Jews
from Palestinian hijackers.</i>

203
00:22:22,940 --> 00:22:25,270
<i>On July 4th, 1976,</i>

204
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,240
<i>my brother Yoni,
lieutenant colonel and commander,</i>

205
00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:31,530
<i>led his men to rescue hostages</i>

206
00:22:31,660 --> 00:22:34,200
<i>from Entebbe, Uganda,
in the heart of Africa.</i>

207
00:22:37,910 --> 00:22:39,780
<i>The terrorists were now certain</i>

208
00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:42,130
<i>that they were beyond Israel's reach.</i>

209
00:22:48,050 --> 00:22:52,180
This operation was something
that was never done at this magnitude,

210
00:22:52,300 --> 00:22:54,260
to save so many people, so far away.

211
00:22:54,390 --> 00:22:55,970
The whole thing is fantastic.

212
00:22:56,100 --> 00:23:00,350
<i>So much was written,
and there's a movie about it.</i>

213
00:23:06,860 --> 00:23:09,320
<i>Landing in the dead of night
at Entebbe Airport,</i>

214
00:23:09,450 --> 00:23:14,780
<i>Yoni's force killed the terrorists,
and they liberated 102 hostages.</i>

215
00:23:25,170 --> 00:23:26,880
<i>You had
only one person killed there,</i>

216
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,210
<i>who was the commander of the unit -</i>

217
00:23:29,340 --> 00:23:32,090
<i>Yoni Netanyahu.</i>

218
00:23:32,220 --> 00:23:34,930
<i>He was a very young man.</i>

219
00:23:36,010 --> 00:23:38,270
So, for Bibi it was a...

220
00:23:39,350 --> 00:23:41,520
...you know, major, major loss.

221
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,150
<i>Yoni,
my extraordinary older brother,</i>

222
00:23:47,270 --> 00:23:50,110
<i>instantly emerged from anonymity to fame.</i>

223
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,810
<i>A person of exceptional intelligence
and dedication to Israel,</i>

224
00:23:53,940 --> 00:23:56,200
<i>he served as a model to be emulated.</i>

225
00:23:58,410 --> 00:24:03,120
<i>Yoni's sacrifice and example
helped me overcome inconsolable grief,</i>

226
00:24:03,250 --> 00:24:06,420
<i>and thrust me into
the public battle against terrorism.</i>

227
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,130
<i>Bibi sort of took over
the first son's role,</i>

228
00:24:12,260 --> 00:24:15,750
and with the death of Yoni,
it was like a platform.

229
00:24:17,510 --> 00:24:20,770
Yoni's death...
was definitely the making of Bibi.

230
00:24:20,890 --> 00:24:22,310
There's no question about it.

231
00:24:22,430 --> 00:24:26,770
It opened the door
for something new to start.

232
00:24:26,900 --> 00:24:30,120
And that's how it drove him to politics.

233
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,610
<i>Benjamin Netanyahu,
like the country he represents,</i>

234
00:24:32,740 --> 00:24:35,820
<i>believes in attacking his attackers.</i>

235
00:24:35,950 --> 00:24:39,950
<i>His job is to be an ambassador,
but his passion is a personal crusade</i>

236
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:44,160
<i>against international terrorism
and the states that sponsor it.</i>

237
00:24:44,290 --> 00:24:48,380
The US Embassy in Beirut tonight is a
floodlit scene of death and devastation.

238
00:24:48,500 --> 00:24:52,670
<i>A car apparently packed with
more than 300lbs of explosives</i>

239
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,220
<i>blew up in the narrow drive
at the entrance to the embassy.</i>

240
00:24:55,340 --> 00:24:59,010
I think that this attack
was meant to serve

241
00:24:59,130 --> 00:25:01,390
as a symbolic, psychological blow,

242
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,100
a defeat for the United States.

243
00:25:03,220 --> 00:25:06,810
In the question of terrorism,
there is no neutrality.

244
00:25:06,940 --> 00:25:09,200
There is no position
of magisterial objectivity

245
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:10,650
between good and evil.

246
00:25:10,770 --> 00:25:11,940
You have to choose.

247
00:25:12,070 --> 00:25:14,240
You are either with the terrorists,
or you're against them.

248
00:25:15,190 --> 00:25:16,860
<i>Once he became a politician,</i>

249
00:25:16,990 --> 00:25:20,490
<i>he was a major, major expert
on terrorism,</i>

250
00:25:20,620 --> 00:25:23,830
and a protector of Israel.

251
00:25:23,950 --> 00:25:27,790
Flight 847,
the TWA flight hijacked to Beirut,

252
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,540
<i>now under control of two armed hijackers.</i>

253
00:25:30,670 --> 00:25:31,920
They want the prisoners you're holding,
the Lebanese Shi'ites.

254
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,380
Will you release them?

255
00:25:33,500 --> 00:25:36,510
They have not made a concrete demand,
and I...our policy, as far as possible,

256
00:25:36,630 --> 00:25:38,720
is not to concede to terrorist demands,

257
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,300
and certainly I believe,
based on what I've heard from Washington,

258
00:25:41,430 --> 00:25:43,930
that that is your policy as well.

259
00:25:44,060 --> 00:25:47,020
His performance on television
used to be masterpieces.

260
00:25:47,140 --> 00:25:48,890
You don't surrender.

261
00:25:49,020 --> 00:25:51,440
Whatever you do,
you don't surrender to these killers.

262
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,280
<i>Does the West have the will...</i>

263
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,490
and the guts to fight back?

264
00:25:56,610 --> 00:25:59,200
He knew exactly what to say,
how to say it.

265
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,700
He has this pleasant baritone,
his gestures...

266
00:26:03,830 --> 00:26:06,040
You slap them on the wrist.

267
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,710
You make them stop and pause.
They try again.

268
00:26:08,830 --> 00:26:11,580
You have to hit them again,
until they know that you are serious.

269
00:26:11,710 --> 00:26:13,290
He became really... perfected it.

270
00:26:13,420 --> 00:26:14,710
If they are going to be unpunished,

271
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,470
they'll come back again,
there'll be other killings, other murders.

272
00:26:17,590 --> 00:26:20,000
And they're testing us.

273
00:26:20,120 --> 00:26:21,760
<i>He was a great performer,</i>

274
00:26:21,890 --> 00:26:25,180
<i>and it made him a very popular person.</i>

275
00:26:25,310 --> 00:26:26,480
He was the hero of the Jews,

276
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,480
and he was the hero
of the state of Israel,

277
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,400
standing against
all those who hate the Jewish people

278
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:32,900
and the state of Israel.

279
00:26:33,020 --> 00:26:37,190
This was a great...
a great campaign without campaigning.

280
00:26:57,460 --> 00:26:59,670
<i>Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu,</i>

281
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,130
<i>46, thrice-married father of three,</i>

282
00:27:02,260 --> 00:27:06,470
<i>right-wing politician,
and now Israeli Prime Minister.</i>

283
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:11,100
<i>He became Prime Minister,
I think, he was 46 years old.</i>

284
00:27:11,230 --> 00:27:13,980
Very young.
And he had confidence.

285
00:27:14,100 --> 00:27:17,320
It's an amazing success
when you think about it.

286
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,070
<i>Enormous!</i>

287
00:27:40,340 --> 00:27:45,050
His ambition brought him
to the heights of success.

288
00:27:52,650 --> 00:27:55,440
<i>To become
Prime Minister at the age that he did,</i>

289
00:27:55,560 --> 00:28:00,150
<i>to exceed the founding father,
Ben Gurion,</i>

290
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,900
<i>in the duration of his premiership...</i>

291
00:28:04,660 --> 00:28:08,150
<i>...he reached heights beyond anyone else.</i>

292
00:28:09,770 --> 00:28:13,500
But his moral flaws...

293
00:28:14,950 --> 00:28:16,880
...turned it all upside down.

294
00:29:48,130 --> 00:29:50,880
First of all,
Mrs Sara Netanyahu is very important

295
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,100
as a decision-maker...

296
00:29:53,220 --> 00:29:56,520
in everything
that goes around Mr Netanyahu.

297
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,330
<i>Benjamin Netanyhu is extremely skilful</i>

298
00:30:13,450 --> 00:30:15,830
<i>and knowledgeable and smart.</i>

299
00:30:15,950 --> 00:30:18,790
"But can we trust you?"

300
00:30:18,910 --> 00:30:23,460
So, that's Sara's responsibility.

301
00:30:23,590 --> 00:30:27,970
So, once he thinks that
someone has the right skills...

302
00:30:28,090 --> 00:30:31,330
still, Sara needs to give her approval...

303
00:30:31,450 --> 00:30:33,560
that we, the Netanyahu family,

304
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,310
can trust this guy or this lady.

305
00:30:38,350 --> 00:30:40,900
<i>She gets to decide
who will be the advisors,</i>

306
00:30:41,020 --> 00:30:45,290
<i>she gets to decide his schedule,
she gets to decide policy.</i>

307
00:30:45,410 --> 00:30:47,360
She is very, very important.

308
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,730
They are almost like
couple that runs the country.

309
00:31:08,170 --> 00:31:11,840
<i>Sara Netanyahu
is much more than controversial.</i>

310
00:31:11,970 --> 00:31:14,800
It's been proved in court...

311
00:31:14,930 --> 00:31:18,020
that Sara Netanyahu abused workers,

312
00:31:18,140 --> 00:31:22,270
treated them in
the most humiliating way possible.

313
00:33:22,930 --> 00:33:26,900
Sara Netanyahu,
she really feels that she is entitled

314
00:33:27,020 --> 00:33:29,060
to get all these things...

315
00:33:29,190 --> 00:33:31,110
and she scares from nothing.

316
00:33:31,230 --> 00:33:33,690
She's still doing it today!

317
00:33:34,780 --> 00:33:36,200
Just with different people.

318
00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:31,750
<i>30 years ago,
Netanyahu was involved in a sex scandal</i>

319
00:36:31,870 --> 00:36:37,630
that was never been heard of
in puritan Israel of those days.

320
00:36:38,630 --> 00:36:42,960
<i>In Israel, this scandal is called
the "hot tape" scandal.</i>

321
00:36:52,770 --> 00:36:56,770
We know the name of the woman
that was supposed to be in the hot tape.

322
00:36:57,980 --> 00:37:01,480
Nobody ever saw the hot tape.

323
00:37:01,610 --> 00:37:02,530
No-one.

324
00:37:02,650 --> 00:37:05,400
But his response was panicky.

325
00:37:52,410 --> 00:37:56,120
<i>It made Sara furious
that you tell all Israeli public</i>

326
00:37:56,250 --> 00:37:59,300
that you had
a romance with somebody else.

327
00:38:00,420 --> 00:38:01,710
Behind my back.

328
00:38:25,690 --> 00:38:29,410
<i>That was the moment
that everything changed.</i>

329
00:38:31,030 --> 00:38:35,960
This shape the relationship
between Benjamin and Sara Netanyahu.

330
00:42:15,460 --> 00:42:17,050
<i>He's a great actor.</i>

331
00:42:17,170 --> 00:42:19,720
<i>He knows how to look relaxed.</i>

332
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:21,720
<i>But he's not relaxed at all.</i>

333
00:42:21,850 --> 00:42:24,010
<i>He's very, very stressed because of it.</i>

334
00:42:24,140 --> 00:42:27,060
Any one of us would be stressful
if the police would come to us

335
00:42:27,180 --> 00:42:29,390
with such an allegation.

336
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,690
But he knows how to play the game,

337
00:42:31,810 --> 00:42:35,030
and he knows that he's
being filmed all the time,

338
00:42:35,150 --> 00:42:37,540
<i>and he doesn't want to look bad.</i>

339
00:42:50,750 --> 00:42:56,050
I mean, he doesn't remember
the diamond that Sara received?

340
00:42:56,170 --> 00:42:57,920
He was personally involved with it.

341
00:42:58,050 --> 00:43:01,260
He doesn't know anything about
champagne bottles that she received.

342
00:43:01,390 --> 00:43:05,180
Come on!
I mean, it was in his house, in his car.

343
00:43:05,310 --> 00:43:09,060
He doesn't know about it.
It's ridiculous!

344
00:43:09,180 --> 00:43:11,900
<i>I mean this is $250,000.</i>

345
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,440
If you want to lie, you know,
you need a great memory.

346
00:43:18,570 --> 00:43:21,110
You need a great memory to lie.
He has a great memory.

347
00:44:20,630 --> 00:44:22,550
<i>He lies left and right.</i>

348
00:44:22,670 --> 00:44:25,140
Bibi lies left and right.

349
00:44:25,260 --> 00:44:28,430
He uses... I mean, lying,
for him, is not something bad.

350
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:29,510
Seriously!

351
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,280
And it doesn't...
it doesn't give him...

352
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,510
He doesn't feel any...
problem with it.

353
00:44:58,790 --> 00:45:01,920
The felony
that Netanyahu is indicted in

354
00:45:02,050 --> 00:45:03,820
is called "breach of trust,"

355
00:45:03,950 --> 00:45:06,720
which means that you put yourself

356
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:10,310
in a very high risk
of conflicts of interest.

357
00:45:13,180 --> 00:45:16,440
<i>Arnon Milchan
has an access to the Prime Minister</i>

358
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:18,870
<i>where other people don't get this access.</i>

359
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,400
Anytime he needs something...

360
00:45:22,530 --> 00:45:25,430
he can pick up the phone
and find Netanyahu.

361
00:45:31,700 --> 00:45:34,370
<i>There is some law in Israel...</i>

362
00:45:34,500 --> 00:45:38,540
<i>that help Arnon Milchan
to pay less taxes.</i>

363
00:45:38,670 --> 00:45:41,590
This law has a deadline...

364
00:45:41,710 --> 00:45:44,170
and Milchan wants this deadline

365
00:45:44,300 --> 00:45:47,090
to be... pushing far off.

366
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,740
So, Netanyahu is speaking
with his Finance Minister,

367
00:46:08,860 --> 00:46:11,370
telling him, "Maybe we'll help Arnon.

368
00:46:11,490 --> 00:46:15,790
"Maybe we'll do it with this law,
extend it for few more years."

369
00:46:17,210 --> 00:46:20,040
<i>Any law that relates to taxes</i>

370
00:46:20,170 --> 00:46:24,300
<i>needs to go through Yair Lapid,
the Finance Minister.</i>

371
00:47:37,990 --> 00:47:41,830
<i>He tried
to help Arnon Milchan in few other things.</i>

372
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:45,210
Arnon Milchan helped Israel,
in some ways,

373
00:47:45,330 --> 00:47:49,550
to get all kinds of equipment
to our nuclear project,

374
00:47:49,670 --> 00:47:52,640
<i>to build nuclear bombs.</i>

375
00:47:55,970 --> 00:47:59,220
<i>This was 40 or 50 years ago.</i>

376
00:47:59,350 --> 00:48:03,100
<i>Many people thought
some of the things that he did</i>

377
00:48:03,230 --> 00:48:05,140
was against the American laws.

378
00:48:06,110 --> 00:48:09,360
<i>Years later, he decided to brag about it,</i>

379
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,240
<i>and to tell it out loud.</i>

380
00:48:23,540 --> 00:48:27,340
It made someone
in the American administration furious.

381
00:48:27,460 --> 00:48:31,420
Not only he did it,
but now he said it out loud.

382
00:48:31,550 --> 00:48:35,720
<i>So, they decided to cut his visa.</i>

383
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:37,880
<i>And all his life is in the US.</i>

384
00:49:14,420 --> 00:49:17,840
<i>Netanyahu speaks
with the American Ambassador in Israel,</i>

385
00:49:17,970 --> 00:49:20,430
<i>he's calling the Secretary of State,</i>

386
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,640
<i>Mr John Kerry, a few times.</i>

387
00:49:22,770 --> 00:49:25,100
His people speak
with all kinds of people,

388
00:49:25,230 --> 00:49:27,990
putting pressure
to take care of this thing

389
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:31,110
and get Arnon Milchan his visa back.

390
00:49:31,230 --> 00:49:32,980
Ultimately, it happened.

391
00:49:54,590 --> 00:49:58,470
When you want to ask a favour
from Secretary Kerry...

392
00:49:58,590 --> 00:50:00,970
when you deal with him...

393
00:50:01,100 --> 00:50:04,640
in Iran, Palestinians, all the rest...

394
00:50:04,770 --> 00:50:06,680
you want to ask for a favour,

395
00:50:06,810 --> 00:50:10,310
this needs to be something very dramatic.

396
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:14,480
You don't want to waste
your political capital...

397
00:50:14,610 --> 00:50:17,780
for Arnon Milchan visa!

398
00:50:18,780 --> 00:50:21,340
<i>This is... unheard of.</i>

399
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:14,770
Bibi! Bibi! Bibi! Bibi!

400
00:52:36,420 --> 00:52:41,800
<i>It came to the point
of what the French are saying,</i>

401
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,880
"L'État, c'est moi."
"The country is me."

402
00:52:45,010 --> 00:52:48,540
When people serve for too long...

403
00:52:49,930 --> 00:52:52,310
...it gets into their head.

404
00:52:53,930 --> 00:52:56,520
<i>And we saw the breaking point</i>

405
00:52:56,650 --> 00:52:59,770
<i>because the way he won
the elections of 2015,</i>

406
00:52:59,900 --> 00:53:01,860
<i>which was single-handedly.</i>

407
00:53:01,980 --> 00:53:04,650
<i>The polls was predicting a loss,</i>

408
00:53:04,780 --> 00:53:07,320
<i>but he won... big-time!</i>

409
00:53:07,450 --> 00:53:10,240
<i>And it did something to the ego.</i>

410
00:53:12,620 --> 00:53:16,710
<i>Around 2015,
something changed.</i>

411
00:53:16,830 --> 00:53:22,380
It felt like he doesn't need to give
any explanation to anybody at all,

412
00:53:22,510 --> 00:53:24,510
like... like a Caesar.

413
00:53:24,630 --> 00:53:28,340
And we need to obey... the rules

414
00:53:28,470 --> 00:53:32,850
of... of not... not of the kingdom,
of His Majesty.

415
00:53:36,350 --> 00:53:39,560
<i>At that time,
there were no police investigations.</i>

416
00:53:39,690 --> 00:53:43,400
<i>There was no threat to his rule.</i>

417
00:53:43,530 --> 00:53:46,270
<i>He was seen, in Israel,</i>

418
00:53:46,390 --> 00:53:50,200
and also by Obama or Putin...

419
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:51,720
as...

420
00:53:52,890 --> 00:53:57,960
...the most powerful leader
that Israel has ever had.

421
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:08,840
<i>I want to remind you
that I was the campaign manager.</i>

422
00:54:08,970 --> 00:54:11,890
You see that, on the stage,
I was standing with them, too.

423
00:54:12,010 --> 00:54:13,510
<i>It's me.</i>

424
00:54:14,720 --> 00:54:18,180
<i>It's only three of us -
Bibi, Sara, and myself.</i>

425
00:54:22,940 --> 00:54:26,240
It was a glamorous...
wow... night... wow.

426
00:54:30,070 --> 00:54:32,640
Do you remember Nir Hefetz?

427
00:54:36,290 --> 00:54:38,770
Who is Nir Hefetz?

428
00:55:04,230 --> 00:55:08,530
<i>I was the closest aid to Sara Netanyahu,</i>

429
00:55:08,650 --> 00:55:11,280
<i>and one of the closest
to Benjamin Netanyahu.</i>

430
00:55:11,410 --> 00:55:15,250
And I was the personal spokesman
of the whole family.

431
00:55:19,250 --> 00:55:22,670
<i>Many, many people -
and especially leaders -</i>

432
00:55:22,790 --> 00:55:25,800
<i>make the mistakes
after such a huge success,</i>

433
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,250
<i>when they start to believe...</i>

434
00:55:28,380 --> 00:55:30,860
that they are untouchable,
that they are...

435
00:55:32,090 --> 00:55:34,140
...magicians.

436
00:55:35,430 --> 00:55:38,430
<i>Benjamin Netanyahu started believing</i>

437
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,140
<i>what his wife has been
telling him for years.</i>

438
00:55:41,270 --> 00:55:42,810
<i>"You're the one!</i>

439
00:55:42,940 --> 00:55:46,690
<i>"If you were not born in Israel,
if you were born in Michigan,</i>

440
00:55:46,820 --> 00:55:50,210
<i>"you would be the President of
the United States of America, for sure!"</i>

441
00:55:51,780 --> 00:55:54,530
I think this night...

442
00:55:54,660 --> 00:55:57,990
was not only his biggest win,

443
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:02,160
it was also
the day that he started to deteriorate.

444
00:56:02,290 --> 00:56:06,170
And it ended not as I expected.

445
00:56:06,290 --> 00:56:10,970
You know,
life takes us to unexpected corners.

446
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:07,980
<i>Nir Hefetz
became a very important witness,</i>

447
00:57:08,110 --> 00:57:10,610
because he is one of the messengers

448
00:57:10,730 --> 00:57:12,740
between the tycoon Shaul Elovitch

449
00:57:12,860 --> 00:57:14,700
and the Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu.

450
00:57:16,530 --> 00:57:21,170
<i>There is a big difference between
Shaul Elovitch and Arnon Milchan.</i>

451
00:57:23,660 --> 00:57:26,750
<i>Shaul Elovitch
doesn't like the limelight at all.</i>

452
00:57:26,870 --> 00:57:28,750
<i>He never gave interviews.</i>

453
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:32,340
He's very concentrating in doing money.

454
00:58:17,420 --> 00:58:19,340
<i>Shaul Elovitch made his fortune</i>

455
00:58:19,470 --> 00:58:22,810
<i>from importing Nokia cellphones.</i>

456
00:58:22,930 --> 00:58:28,690
<i>And in a certain point of time,
he took very big loans from the banks</i>

457
00:58:28,810 --> 00:58:32,110
in order to finance his...

458
00:58:32,230 --> 00:58:35,690
upgrading to become such a tycoon.

459
00:58:35,820 --> 00:58:39,240
<i>At the end of 2016,</i>

460
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:42,160
<i>Elovitch was in a state of panic.</i>

461
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:45,660
<i>He had a deadline, paying back loans</i>

462
00:58:45,790 --> 00:58:48,210
<i>of billions of dollars to the banks.</i>

463
00:59:07,470 --> 00:59:12,020
<i>And from Netanyahu,
Elovitch needs a signature</i>

464
00:59:12,150 --> 00:59:15,860
that will allow him to get
a very quick cash,

465
00:59:15,980 --> 00:59:20,650
something around $200 million.

466
00:59:21,740 --> 00:59:26,100
<i>Bibi understood that
Elovitch needed the signature very badly.</i>

467
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:36,550
Nir Hefetz goes to Netanyahu
and give it to him.

468
00:59:36,670 --> 00:59:38,130
Netanyahu reads it.

469
01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:35,980
Now, the question
is what Netanyahu wants

470
01:00:36,100 --> 01:00:39,270
<i>in return for this signature.</i>

471
01:00:41,740 --> 01:00:47,030
<i>It turns out
that Shaul Elovitch is also the owner</i>

472
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:49,740
<i>of a small website called Walla,</i>

473
01:00:49,870 --> 01:00:53,540
<i>a website with a news department.</i>

474
01:02:06,650 --> 01:02:09,360
<i>So, they had a secret meeting,</i>

475
01:02:09,490 --> 01:02:13,740
<i>and in the end,
Netanyahu received full control of Walla,</i>

476
01:02:13,870 --> 01:02:16,380
<i>and Shaul Elovitch got the signature.</i>

477
01:06:20,410 --> 01:06:22,620
<i>Yair Netanyahu, his son,</i>

478
01:06:22,740 --> 01:06:24,950
became very important in this case.

479
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:27,410
Both of them, Yair and Sara,

480
01:06:27,540 --> 01:06:31,050
<i>present a very brutal approach...</i>

481
01:06:31,170 --> 01:06:33,130
<i>to politics.</i>

482
01:06:33,250 --> 01:06:34,960
<i>A lot of power.</i>

483
01:06:35,090 --> 01:06:38,560
<i>Never surrender, never compromise.</i>

484
01:06:53,980 --> 01:06:56,640
The obsession of Yair
with the media

485
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,150
is similar a little bit to his father.

486
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:03,160
The Israeli media
is a completely North Korean-style

487
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:05,740
socialist, communist propaganda.

488
01:07:05,870 --> 01:07:10,460
I was blocked several times
from Facebook for "hate speech."

489
01:07:10,580 --> 01:07:13,540
There are many examples
to the influence of Yair over Bibi.

490
01:07:13,670 --> 01:07:15,300
<i>You can see it.</i>

491
01:07:21,130 --> 01:07:23,510
<i>That's what the Israeli media is doing -</i>

492
01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:26,520
pretending to be objective
but actually echoing the most

493
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:30,560
radical... Marxist... agenda.

494
01:07:45,830 --> 01:07:50,300
The common theme between
the left in Israel, America, and Europe

495
01:07:50,420 --> 01:07:54,950
is pushing forward illegal immigration
and illegal immigrants,

496
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:59,880
because they want to change
the identity of the country,

497
01:08:00,010 --> 01:08:02,880
and make national identity obsolete.

498
01:08:37,710 --> 01:08:39,590
<i>Bibi told me one day, I remember,</i>

499
01:08:39,710 --> 01:08:42,170
<i>that Yair can replace him.</i>

500
01:08:44,380 --> 01:08:45,930
I did this with my eyes.

501
01:08:46,050 --> 01:08:47,950
I didn't say a word, I just...

502
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:50,430
My eyebrows went up.

503
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:53,480
"Yair can replace you?
First of all..."

504
01:08:53,610 --> 01:08:55,770
<i>"..you can't appoint your son.</i>

505
01:08:55,900 --> 01:08:58,230
<i>"Why can he be considered?"</i>

506
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:00,150
He said, "Well, he has the capability."

507
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:02,280
He really thinks that it's like...

508
01:09:02,410 --> 01:09:03,910
<i>a kingdom.</i>

509
01:11:35,470 --> 01:11:40,770
<i>This is a very
conventional procedure to confront people.</i>

510
01:11:40,890 --> 01:11:43,980
<i>You have a witness who is saying A,</i>

511
01:11:44,110 --> 01:11:46,230
<i>and the other guy is saying B,</i>

512
01:11:46,360 --> 01:11:49,280
and all of the sudden,
one of them understands

513
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:52,410
that the other one spoke against him.

514
01:11:52,530 --> 01:11:55,460
Maybe he will sit in jail
because of this guy.

515
01:12:26,190 --> 01:12:28,600
<i>It's a crime to destroy your phone</i>

516
01:12:28,730 --> 01:12:32,030
when you know
that it might contain evidence.

517
01:12:32,150 --> 01:12:34,360
<i>Elovitch's phones carried nothing.</i>

518
01:12:34,490 --> 01:12:37,120
<i>They destroyed them,
and they erased everything.</i>

519
01:12:53,170 --> 01:12:55,340
<i>But then, Ilan Yeshua,</i>

520
01:12:55,470 --> 01:12:57,430
<i>General Manager of Walla,</i>

521
01:12:57,550 --> 01:13:00,520
<i>goes to the police with his cellphone,</i>

522
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:03,100
<i>gives all the text messages...</i>

523
01:13:05,100 --> 01:13:08,740
<i>..all the recordings
that Ilan Yeshua did with them.</i>

524
01:13:10,610 --> 01:13:14,240
Shaul Elovitch and Mr Netanyahu,
they knew nothing about it.

525
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:16,030
<i>They were caught by surprise.</i>

526
01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:05,290
<i>The police sometimes attacked him</i>

527
01:14:05,410 --> 01:14:09,920
<i>with all kinds of things,
and he's, like, banging on the table.</i>

528
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:15,300
<i>"To what kind of low level
you will get to try to catch me?!"</i>

529
01:14:15,420 --> 01:14:18,090
I'm sure he has a real fear that
in the end,

530
01:14:18,220 --> 01:14:20,260
he will send to jail.

531
01:14:20,390 --> 01:14:22,610
And this is very scary,

532
01:14:22,730 --> 01:14:26,900
to his legacy,
to his freedom, to everything.

533
01:15:42,300 --> 01:15:45,680
<i>When they published
the criminal charges against him,</i>

534
01:15:45,810 --> 01:15:48,350
<i>I called him up and I said,
"Bibi, what's gonna happen?</i>

535
01:15:48,480 --> 01:15:50,100
<i>"This is serious business.</i>

536
01:15:50,230 --> 01:15:53,400
<i>"They would not bring these up
without good evidence."</i>

537
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:57,190
I said to him,
"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,

538
01:15:57,320 --> 01:15:59,400
"you're in trouble.

539
01:15:59,530 --> 01:16:01,630
"And, uh...

540
01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:06,620
"..it could end up with jail."

541
01:16:06,740 --> 01:16:09,250
And he gave his usual story,
"It's terrible.

542
01:16:09,370 --> 01:16:12,540
"There's no democracy in the world
that would do this."

543
01:16:50,540 --> 01:16:53,790
<i>Benjamin Netanyahu
was before a judge a short time ago,</i>

544
01:16:53,910 --> 01:16:56,420
<i>saying he's not guilty of bribery, fraud,</i>

545
01:16:56,540 --> 01:16:59,380
<i>and breach-of-trust charges.</i>

546
01:17:00,710 --> 01:17:03,380
<i>There was, like, a precedence -</i>

547
01:17:03,510 --> 01:17:08,140
no prime minister will serve when,
at the same time,

548
01:17:08,260 --> 01:17:11,430
<i>he has a criminal case going on</i>

549
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:15,770
<i>just 5km
from his Prime Minister office.</i>

550
01:17:15,900 --> 01:17:18,360
<i>It's absurd!</i>

551
01:17:18,480 --> 01:17:21,480
You're supposed to resign.
Everybody did it.

552
01:17:21,610 --> 01:17:23,610
He is the only one who didn't.

553
01:17:45,930 --> 01:17:48,550
Unnecessary. Unnecessary.

554
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:50,930
It was a result of arrogance.
Arrogance.

555
01:17:51,060 --> 01:17:53,220
He was challenging the system.

556
01:17:53,350 --> 01:17:56,640
He said, "No, I'm above, I'm beyond,

557
01:17:56,770 --> 01:17:58,480
"no-one can touch me.

558
01:17:58,610 --> 01:18:01,480
"You dare not do it.
And if you do it, this is manipulation."

559
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:20,000
<i>After the indictment,</i>

560
01:18:20,130 --> 01:18:22,800
<i>the centre-left parties in Israel,</i>

561
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:24,880
<i>they all decided to ban him.</i>

562
01:18:26,260 --> 01:18:29,840
It made him more right-wing
in his position,

563
01:18:29,970 --> 01:18:35,060
and it made him dependent
on the extreme right in Israel.

564
01:18:45,990 --> 01:18:48,360
<i>Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,</i>

565
01:18:48,490 --> 01:18:52,870
<i>he's nurtured the extreme right
to boost coalition numbers.</i>

566
01:18:52,990 --> 01:18:56,010
<i>Netanyahu needs the far right's backing</i>

567
01:18:56,130 --> 01:19:00,120
<i>as he tries to swerve corruption charges,
which he denies.</i>

568
01:19:00,250 --> 01:19:03,460
<i>He has officially formed the
country's most-far-right-ever government.</i>

569
01:19:03,590 --> 01:19:05,760
<i>With some of the most fringe,</i>

570
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:08,760
<i>vile figures in all of Israeli politics.</i>

571
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:11,050
-  <i>Itamar Ben-Gvir.</i>
-  <i>Bezalel Smotrich.</i>

572
01:19:11,180 --> 01:19:13,390
<i>Their opponents call them "pyromaniacs,"</i>

573
01:19:13,510 --> 01:19:16,180
<i>as they portray themselves as patriots.</i>

574
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:21,120
<i>Without Netanyahu,
the fascist extreme right</i>

575
01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:27,030
were considered not legitimate players
within the Israeli political system.

576
01:19:27,150 --> 01:19:30,400
They were considered very extreme,

577
01:19:30,530 --> 01:19:33,910
and nobody wanted to touch them
or deal with them.

578
01:19:54,300 --> 01:19:57,810
You just have to listen to Smotrich
and to Ben-Gvir.

579
01:19:57,930 --> 01:20:01,730
Smotrich is a Jewish terrorist.

580
01:20:23,580 --> 01:20:26,540
<i>He had all the instruments</i>

581
01:20:26,670 --> 01:20:31,060
in order to use it for a terror action,

582
01:20:31,180 --> 01:20:33,470
<i>but he kept silence,</i>

583
01:20:33,590 --> 01:20:36,970
<i>and because we do not
interrogate Jewish terrorists</i>

584
01:20:37,100 --> 01:20:40,390
<i>the way we interrogate
Palestinian terrorists,</i>

585
01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:41,980
he did not confess.

586
01:20:42,100 --> 01:20:44,770
And this is why he was not in jail.

587
01:20:45,940 --> 01:20:48,030
<i>When it comes to Ben-Gvir,</i>

588
01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:52,140
<i>he supported the assassination
of Prime Minister Rabin</i>

589
01:20:52,270 --> 01:20:54,160
<i>when he was a youngster.</i>

590
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:56,660
<i>He was once filmed
holding a hood emblem</i>

591
01:20:56,780 --> 01:21:00,580
<i>he claimed was from the car of former
Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin,</i>

592
01:21:00,710 --> 01:21:03,760
<i>an architect
of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.</i>

593
01:21:22,850 --> 01:21:26,360
<i>A Jewish extremist
assassinated Rabin three weeks later.</i>

594
01:21:29,230 --> 01:21:32,360
<i>Ben-Gvir, he was not
recruited to military service</i>

595
01:21:32,490 --> 01:21:35,860
because he was condemned in court

596
01:21:35,990 --> 01:21:39,080
as one who support Jewish terror.

597
01:21:40,740 --> 01:21:42,790
<i>He's the follower
of a racist movement,</i>

598
01:21:42,910 --> 01:21:47,140
<i>and wants to expel
what he calls "disloyal Arabs."</i>

599
01:21:48,500 --> 01:21:51,710
I love Israel, and I don't want to...

600
01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:55,550
Just a minute!

601
01:21:55,670 --> 01:21:58,390
They want...
They want kill me and kill you,

602
01:21:58,510 --> 01:21:59,890
the Jihadisti!

603
01:22:00,010 --> 01:22:02,140
<i>In occupied East Jerusalem,</i>

604
01:22:02,260 --> 01:22:03,890
<i>he pulled out his gun,</i>

605
01:22:04,020 --> 01:22:07,270
<i>calling for Palestinians who throw stones
to be shot.</i>

606
01:22:07,390 --> 01:22:11,440
He see violence as a legitimate action.

607
01:22:11,570 --> 01:22:16,450
These are people that Netanyahu
would not agree to take picture with

608
01:22:16,570 --> 01:22:18,570
just two, three years ago.

609
01:22:19,530 --> 01:22:23,830
<i>But now,
Smotrich is the Minister of Finance,</i>

610
01:22:23,950 --> 01:22:28,170
<i>and Ben-Gvir
is the Minister of National Security.</i>

611
01:22:29,170 --> 01:22:33,090
<i>He is now captive to their whims!</i>

612
01:22:34,210 --> 01:22:36,300
<i>They are pro-expansion
of Jewish settlements</i>

613
01:22:36,420 --> 01:22:39,340
<i>in the occupied West Bank,</i>

614
01:22:39,470 --> 01:22:42,810
<i>retaking land
they believe belongs to them.</i>

615
01:22:42,930 --> 01:22:46,250
<i>These people
are messianic annexationists...</i>

616
01:22:52,060 --> 01:22:53,730
<i>..Jewish supremacists...</i>

617
01:22:53,860 --> 01:22:56,070
What do you say
to those who say you are

618
01:22:56,190 --> 01:22:58,840
inciting violence against Palestinians?

619
01:23:07,590 --> 01:23:12,470
These people want to settle
Gaza and the West Bank.

620
01:25:53,790 --> 01:25:57,710
<i>I think one of
the most unknown issues regarding Israel,</i>

621
01:25:57,830 --> 01:26:02,000
<i>that 20% of the population
are Arab-Palestinians.</i>

622
01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:08,810
For a Palestinian
who lives in the state of Israel...

623
01:26:08,930 --> 01:26:13,650
being a member of the Knesset
is a very, very complicated issue.

624
01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:18,930
You never go happy to work.

625
01:26:22,150 --> 01:26:26,860
<i>This man is now the minister
that is controlling the police,</i>

626
01:26:26,990 --> 01:26:32,330
<i>and he is bringing his racist,
violent ideology</i>

627
01:26:32,460 --> 01:26:35,000
<i>in all the policing system inside Israel.</i>

628
01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:40,500
<i>Smotrich would do
ethnic cleansing</i>

629
01:26:40,630 --> 01:26:43,490
<i>based on his published plan.</i>

630
01:26:46,220 --> 01:26:49,610
That's... Bibi's governing coalition.

631
01:26:51,930 --> 01:26:53,850
<i>For them,
Ben-Gvir and Smotrich,</i>

632
01:26:53,970 --> 01:26:58,100
<i>they have zero interest
in the corruption cases,</i>

633
01:26:58,230 --> 01:27:02,020
<i>because Netanyahu
is the messiah's donkey.</i>

634
01:27:02,150 --> 01:27:06,610
<i>He can bring us all our fantasies,
all our dreams,</i>

635
01:27:06,740 --> 01:27:11,870
<i>our vision to annex Judea and Samaria,</i>

636
01:27:11,990 --> 01:27:14,830
<i>to kill, one time and for all,</i>

637
01:27:14,950 --> 01:27:16,910
the idea of Palestinian state.

638
01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:22,130
So, what happened in 2023?

639
01:27:23,340 --> 01:27:28,720
What was the difference between 2023
and the 20 years that came before?

640
01:27:28,840 --> 01:27:32,220
Only one thing - the Supreme Court.

641
01:27:38,060 --> 01:27:42,150
<i>The Supreme Court
was perceived by his partners -</i>

642
01:27:42,270 --> 01:27:44,440
<i>the Ben-Gvirs, the Smotriches -</i>

643
01:27:44,570 --> 01:27:48,150
as the rival
of what they want to achieve.

644
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:50,400
Because if you are an annexationist,

645
01:27:50,530 --> 01:27:53,120
the Supreme Court might stop you,

646
01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:57,160
so you need to castrate the Supreme Court
from being able to stop you.

647
01:28:00,210 --> 01:28:03,880
<i>At the same time,
Netanyahu realised</i>

648
01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:09,840
judicial reform could be a way
to legislate his way out...

649
01:28:09,970 --> 01:28:12,260
of his legal predicament.

650
01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:18,520
<i>Netanyahu looked
at the Supreme Court</i>

651
01:28:18,650 --> 01:28:23,490
as an immediate, direct,
personal threat to him.

652
01:28:25,150 --> 01:28:29,230
<i>It was a week after
the government was formed...</i>

653
01:28:29,360 --> 01:28:31,950
<i>Netanyahu presented a very drastic,</i>

654
01:28:32,070 --> 01:28:36,450
<i>very aggressive reform
against the legal system.</i>

655
01:28:36,580 --> 01:28:41,040
And he just...
put all Israel in turmoil.

656
01:28:50,710 --> 01:28:52,630
<i>The people said,
"Enough is enough."</i>

657
01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:57,140
<i>The legal reform that he wanted</i>

658
01:28:57,270 --> 01:29:00,180
made it so Netanyahu would appoint

659
01:29:00,310 --> 01:29:03,810
the judges that will hear his appeal.

660
01:29:03,940 --> 01:29:06,180
I mean, it was...
And it was transparent.

661
01:29:07,360 --> 01:29:11,990
<i>He wanted to avoid any prison time.</i>

662
01:29:13,280 --> 01:29:17,530
<i>He wanted to change
the way we elect judges.</i>

663
01:29:17,660 --> 01:29:20,160
"We need to change
the power that they have,

664
01:29:20,290 --> 01:29:23,750
"so they will have much less power,
the Supreme Court.

665
01:29:23,870 --> 01:29:27,210
"We need to change the police,
we need to change the Attorney General,

666
01:29:27,330 --> 01:29:29,880
"we need to choose
a different Attorney General."

667
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:35,510
He wanted to break
the bones of the system

668
01:29:35,630 --> 01:29:38,850
before they are coming close

669
01:29:38,970 --> 01:29:42,060
to determine
his political and personal fate.

670
01:29:43,980 --> 01:29:46,900
<i>What do you say
to your critics that say that this reform</i>

671
01:29:47,020 --> 01:29:48,360
is designed, in part,
for you to protect yourself?

672
01:29:48,480 --> 01:29:52,750
I think it's ridiculous.
This has nothing to do with my trial...

673
01:29:53,990 --> 01:29:57,030
There is no question in my mind...

674
01:29:57,160 --> 01:30:01,540
that the burden of the investigation,
the fear of the investigation,

675
01:30:01,660 --> 01:30:04,910
<i>has led him to take terrible decisions</i>

676
01:30:05,040 --> 01:30:07,880
<i>that were completely affected</i>

677
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:11,150
<i>by his fears and his agony.</i>

678
01:30:12,920 --> 01:30:15,000
<i>Jail is a threat,</i>

679
01:30:15,120 --> 01:30:18,550
<i>and he can identify threat</i>

680
01:30:18,680 --> 01:30:22,390
<i>more than any other person whom I met,</i>

681
01:30:22,510 --> 01:30:27,060
because he is always afraid.

682
01:30:27,190 --> 01:30:28,690
What do you say to people who say

683
01:30:28,810 --> 01:30:30,490
you're only trying
to override the judiciary

684
01:30:30,620 --> 01:30:33,980
- because of your own interests?
- None of the reforms... That's false.

685
01:30:34,110 --> 01:30:36,240
None of the reforms
that we're talking about -

686
01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:39,700
these democratic reforms -
have anything to do with my trial.

687
01:30:43,740 --> 01:30:46,370
<i>All these people protesting
just don't get it?</i>

688
01:30:46,500 --> 01:30:48,420
Many of them don't. Many of them...

689
01:30:48,540 --> 01:30:50,000
Isn't that slightly patronising,
Prime Minister?

690
01:30:50,130 --> 01:30:51,870
- No, I don't think so.
- To tell your own people,

691
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:53,590
who are protesting
in the hundreds of thousands...

692
01:30:53,710 --> 01:30:54,960
I didn't say that all of them don't!

693
01:30:57,340 --> 01:31:00,390
<i>Do you accept the premise
that the public is upset about this?</i>

694
01:31:00,510 --> 01:31:03,470
Well, some of it is upset.

695
01:31:03,600 --> 01:31:06,350
You wouldn't know about
the other side that seeks...

696
01:31:06,480 --> 01:31:08,440
that wants to have the judicial reform

697
01:31:08,560 --> 01:31:10,980
because their demonstrations
are not covered.

698
01:31:11,100 --> 01:31:13,400
So, yes,
there is a divided country right now.

699
01:31:15,570 --> 01:31:19,280
<i>The public response
was the most massive demonstration</i>

700
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:22,550
<i>that we had seen ever, on any issue.</i>

701
01:31:22,680 --> 01:31:27,620
And it was week after week after week
for something like 39 weeks!

702
01:31:27,750 --> 01:31:32,380
<i>It was young and old,
and religious people even came,</i>

703
01:31:32,510 --> 01:31:35,000
<i>and, of course, secular and kids.</i>

704
01:31:35,130 --> 01:31:36,880
My kids were in the streets.

705
01:31:38,260 --> 01:31:41,470
Your cameraman was beaten many times,

706
01:31:41,590 --> 01:31:45,100
I believe, and was arrested,
or whatever happened to him.

707
01:31:45,220 --> 01:31:47,980
<i>Everybody was in the street.</i>

708
01:31:49,890 --> 01:31:53,230
<i>Bibi made major mistakes.</i>

709
01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:57,190
What he did to my country is terrible.

710
01:31:57,320 --> 01:31:59,490
It's really unforgivable.

711
01:32:00,570 --> 01:32:02,320
And he knows what he's doing.

712
01:32:02,450 --> 01:32:04,240
It's not that he doesn't know.

713
01:32:05,580 --> 01:32:07,800
<i>It was too much.</i>

714
01:32:10,580 --> 01:32:13,710
At that point, I said, "I'm
coming out and I'm speaking in public."

715
01:32:36,060 --> 01:32:39,400
Netanyahu's legal predicament...

716
01:32:39,530 --> 01:32:42,950
<i>was undermining our security.</i>

717
01:32:43,070 --> 01:32:48,160
The army started to say that,
"Look, our enemies...

718
01:32:48,290 --> 01:32:49,500
"are watching us."

719
01:32:53,120 --> 01:32:56,750
<i>We were weak,
but not because of the protests...</i>

720
01:32:56,880 --> 01:32:59,340
because of the policy that he led.

721
01:33:00,340 --> 01:33:04,800
<i>And it was clear to me
that our resilience... is falling apart.</i>

722
01:33:04,930 --> 01:33:09,180
It create a huge danger -
security danger -

723
01:33:09,310 --> 01:33:12,930
<i>because our enemies understand it...</i>

724
01:33:13,060 --> 01:33:15,650
<i>sometimes earlier than we do.</i>

725
01:35:06,970 --> 01:35:11,510
<i>I didn't expect
October 7th to happen.</i>

726
01:35:11,640 --> 01:35:15,350
<i>I didn't expect it,
but I wish I could say I was surprised.</i>

727
01:35:16,730 --> 01:35:20,250
<i>Things have been heating up for a while.</i>

728
01:35:23,820 --> 01:35:25,800
I'm not very old -
I'm 20 years old -

729
01:35:25,930 --> 01:35:29,020
but for my entire life,
I have known...

730
01:35:30,320 --> 01:35:34,620
...bombs and war, and now, this situation.

731
01:35:46,500 --> 01:35:49,720
<i>I was raised in Kibbutz Be'eri,
in the Negev,</i>

732
01:35:49,840 --> 01:35:53,600
<i>which is in the south of this land.</i>

733
01:35:53,720 --> 01:35:56,970
<i>The kibbutz, it's very based on community.</i>

734
01:35:58,020 --> 01:36:01,230
<i>There's a lot of agriculture and nature.</i>

735
01:36:01,350 --> 01:36:03,650
It's not that big -
everybody knows everybody else -

736
01:36:03,770 --> 01:36:07,940
and we are a very tight-knit community
in that sense.

737
01:36:09,440 --> 01:36:15,280
<i>On October 7th,
people from Hamas entered my kibbutz</i>

738
01:36:15,410 --> 01:36:17,660
<i>in the early morning</i>

739
01:36:17,790 --> 01:36:21,580
<i>and started burning houses...</i>

740
01:36:22,670 --> 01:36:24,840
<i>...and murdering people.</i>

741
01:36:30,470 --> 01:36:34,550
Over 90 people that I used to know
are dead now...

742
01:36:38,150 --> 01:36:40,480
...which is a lot to grapple with.

743
01:36:41,690 --> 01:36:43,730
It's a lot to comprehend.

744
01:36:45,780 --> 01:36:47,570
<i>There are people
that are still held hostage,</i>

745
01:36:47,690 --> 01:36:50,310
<i>as well as people that...</i>

746
01:36:50,440 --> 01:36:52,370
<i>we don't know where they are.</i>

747
01:36:55,910 --> 01:36:59,120
Bibi has not been to Be'eri
since October 7th,

748
01:36:59,240 --> 01:37:03,670
and I don't want him to come, because...

749
01:37:03,790 --> 01:37:06,290
I would never welcome him in my home.

750
01:37:06,420 --> 01:37:10,300
He was Prime Minister
ever since I can remember,

751
01:37:10,420 --> 01:37:16,220
and, living on the border,
I always felt...

752
01:37:16,340 --> 01:37:20,310
the effects of that -
negative effects of that, always -

753
01:37:20,430 --> 01:37:23,560
of his choices and his policies
and how that affected me,

754
01:37:23,690 --> 01:37:25,900
and later, his corruption, as well.

755
01:37:26,020 --> 01:37:29,190
<i>And I don't want to hear his name,</i>

756
01:37:29,320 --> 01:37:31,480
<i>I don't want to see his face.</i>

757
01:37:31,610 --> 01:37:33,370
<i>I am exhausted of him.</i>

758
01:38:11,270 --> 01:38:15,860
<i>The public
blames Netanyahu for October 7th</i>

759
01:38:15,990 --> 01:38:19,870
as the one who fed the beast.

760
01:38:19,990 --> 01:38:23,580
He did not create Hamas, but he fed it.

761
01:38:23,700 --> 01:38:25,480
Netanyahu...

762
01:38:25,610 --> 01:38:27,920
who is against peace...

763
01:38:28,040 --> 01:38:32,210
and who is against
having a Palestinian state...

764
01:38:32,340 --> 01:38:36,040
dealt with Hamas for a long time...

765
01:38:36,160 --> 01:38:39,050
as a strategic friend.

766
01:38:56,030 --> 01:39:01,410
It was important for him
to keep Gaza under the control of Hamas,

767
01:39:01,530 --> 01:39:05,500
and keeping the West Bank
under the control of Fatah,

768
01:39:05,620 --> 01:39:10,630
and preventing them
from being united in any way.

769
01:39:10,750 --> 01:39:12,630
In order to do so,

770
01:39:12,750 --> 01:39:16,420
Netanyahu was, all the time,
helping Hamas to survive.

771
01:39:21,960 --> 01:39:25,100
<i>At the same time
that he was under investigation,</i>

772
01:39:25,220 --> 01:39:28,690
<i>he arranged for Hamas to receive</i>

773
01:39:28,810 --> 01:39:32,400
$35 million every month from Qatar.

774
01:39:32,520 --> 01:39:35,780
<i>Netanyahu can't give
them money by himself.</i>

775
01:39:35,900 --> 01:39:38,530
<i>Israel will not give money to the Hamas.</i>

776
01:39:38,650 --> 01:39:41,990
You cannot even transfer
this money through banks,

777
01:39:42,120 --> 01:39:44,490
because even the banks
don't want to cooperate.

778
01:39:44,620 --> 01:39:47,450
<i>So, you, the Israeli Prime Minister,</i>

779
01:39:47,580 --> 01:39:51,880
<i>needs to beg
this small and very rich country, Qatar,</i>

780
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:55,630
to give money... to our enemy.

781
01:39:57,430 --> 01:40:02,720
<i>These suitcases of money
was given to Hamas...</i>

782
01:40:02,840 --> 01:40:06,730
<i>under the request
of Benjamin Netanyahu personally!</i>

783
01:40:07,730 --> 01:40:11,770
<i>And because the Qatarians
knew him from the beginning...</i>

784
01:40:11,900 --> 01:40:13,900
<i>they were asking him...</i>

785
01:40:14,020 --> 01:40:17,370
<i>to send them his requests in writing...</i>

786
01:40:18,610 --> 01:40:21,990
...because they knew
that he was going to lie in the future.

787
01:40:24,490 --> 01:40:26,980
<i>He allowed more than one billion</i>

788
01:40:27,100 --> 01:40:30,120
<i>to be transferred
to the hands of the Hamas</i>

789
01:40:30,250 --> 01:40:31,870
<i>because he believed</i>

790
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:36,380
that he can control the level of hatred.

791
01:40:37,460 --> 01:40:41,030
<i>It's nonsense.
He cannot control the flames.</i>

792
01:41:14,160 --> 01:41:17,960
Your strategy was...
keep Hamas there,

793
01:41:18,090 --> 01:41:21,050
weaken the Palestinian authority
on the West Bank,

794
01:41:21,170 --> 01:41:25,390
sustain the extremists,
weaken the moderates.

795
01:41:27,430 --> 01:41:33,150
<i>This exploded in our faces
in the most brutal way on October 7th.</i>

796
01:41:35,130 --> 01:41:39,730
Bibi tells the world,
again and again and again,

797
01:41:39,860 --> 01:41:41,730
"I am the expert on terrorism.

798
01:41:41,860 --> 01:41:43,950
"I know how to fight terrorism.

799
01:41:44,070 --> 01:41:46,410
"I am the protector of Israel."

800
01:41:46,530 --> 01:41:50,160
And under his... regime,

801
01:41:50,290 --> 01:41:54,710
we get into this incredible,
unbelievable war.

802
01:42:38,750 --> 01:42:42,460
<i>Chaos, carnage
and confusion today in the Middle East.</i>

803
01:42:42,590 --> 01:42:44,960
<i>Four months after
the terror attack in Israel,</i>

804
01:42:45,090 --> 01:42:47,210
<i>the fighting continues.</i>

805
01:42:48,430 --> 01:42:52,810
It started with
my neighbours in my Kibbutz being killed,

806
01:42:52,930 --> 01:42:56,810
and it continues with
my neighbours in Gaza being killed.

807
01:42:58,690 --> 01:43:03,860
<i>The death toll inside Gaza
now surpasses 15,000 Palestinians...</i>

808
01:43:03,980 --> 01:43:07,030
-  <i>..20,000 people...</i>
-  <i>..now more than 25,000...</i>

809
01:43:07,150 --> 01:43:09,910
<i>..more than 30,000
Palestinians have been killed in Gaza</i>

810
01:43:10,030 --> 01:43:12,120
<i>since October 7th.</i>

811
01:43:24,210 --> 01:43:27,840
<i>The far right in Israel
want a constant war,</i>

812
01:43:27,970 --> 01:43:31,840
never-ending war,
because they think, in their fantasy,

813
01:43:31,970 --> 01:43:35,270
that we can eradicate the Hamas
from Gaza Strip,

814
01:43:35,390 --> 01:43:40,230
<i>and then we can eliminate
Hezbollah from Lebanon,</i>

815
01:43:40,350 --> 01:43:44,360
<i>and maybe we can have
a Jewish presence in Gaza Strip</i>

816
01:43:44,480 --> 01:43:46,150
<i>and in South Lebanon.</i>

817
01:43:48,530 --> 01:43:51,070
The people who are talking
about a military solution,

818
01:43:51,200 --> 01:43:53,700
I mean, what's happening right now
is not a solution,

819
01:43:53,830 --> 01:43:56,790
it's just a massacre in Gaza.

820
01:43:58,580 --> 01:44:02,210
<i>I don't think that makes
anything in our future better</i>

821
01:44:02,330 --> 01:44:06,170
<i>and anything in our present better,
it's just horrible.</i>

822
01:44:12,550 --> 01:44:15,560
<i>This death, this pain, this cruelty</i>

823
01:44:15,680 --> 01:44:17,610
<i>became bigger and bigger and bigger.</i>

824
01:44:19,390 --> 01:44:23,440
<i>As the Gaza war continues,
so, too, does the hostage crisis.</i>

825
01:44:23,560 --> 01:44:27,360
<i>Despite the return of dozens of kidnapped
Israelis during the temporary truce,</i>

826
01:44:27,490 --> 01:44:30,570
<i>many more still remain in Gaza.</i>

827
01:44:30,700 --> 01:44:34,910
<i>I have been waiting for the
government to bring me my son, Matan.</i>

828
01:44:35,030 --> 01:44:36,990
I can't wait any more.

829
01:44:37,120 --> 01:44:39,080
I can't sit at home and wait.

830
01:44:39,200 --> 01:44:43,750
<i>My son should be home yesterday! Now!</i>

831
01:44:43,880 --> 01:44:46,920
The kidnapped must come home.
In this minute!

832
01:44:47,040 --> 01:44:50,090
- Everybody should scream about it!
- Can't be longer!

833
01:44:50,210 --> 01:44:53,090
<i>It cannot be longer like this!</i>

834
01:44:53,220 --> 01:44:57,600
In my judgment,
hostages come first and foremost,

835
01:44:57,720 --> 01:45:00,350
above any other objective of the war.

836
01:45:01,390 --> 01:45:04,410
<i>We know that
not all of them are surviving.</i>

837
01:45:06,150 --> 01:45:08,150
<i>Destroying Hamas can wait.</i>

838
01:45:09,280 --> 01:45:11,910
But the hostages cannot wait another day.

839
01:45:13,450 --> 01:45:15,780
<i>But Bibi's government,</i>

840
01:45:15,910 --> 01:45:19,940
<i>they are not willing to hear
of ending the war.</i>

841
01:46:29,690 --> 01:46:34,280
The hostage families, they
ask for a meeting with the Prime Minister,

842
01:46:34,400 --> 01:46:36,070
because they are desperate.

843
01:46:37,570 --> 01:46:41,200
<i>In this desperation,
when they come to him,</i>

844
01:46:41,330 --> 01:46:45,060
<i>and she's sitting next to him,
Sara Netanyahu.</i>

845
01:46:46,500 --> 01:46:50,630
<i>There were some reports about
things that she said in those meetings,</i>

846
01:46:50,750 --> 01:46:54,630
<i>trying to encourage them to say
good things about the Prime Minister,</i>

847
01:46:54,760 --> 01:46:58,220
<i>"or else why should we help them?"</i>

848
01:47:22,830 --> 01:47:26,040
<i>The hostage families,
they don't like it,</i>

849
01:47:26,160 --> 01:47:29,080
but if your son or father
is in the hands of the Hamas,

850
01:47:29,210 --> 01:47:30,630
you will do everything!

851
01:47:30,750 --> 01:47:32,460
<i>Flatter her.</i>

852
01:47:32,590 --> 01:47:34,510
<i>Say good things about her.</i>

853
01:47:34,640 --> 01:47:36,950
<i>Have a picture with her.
Whatever she needs.</i>

854
01:47:38,760 --> 01:47:42,850
<i>Instead of having the Prime Minister say,</i>

855
01:47:42,970 --> 01:47:45,850
"Let me tell you everything I can...

856
01:47:45,970 --> 01:47:49,060
"about your beloved one,
about the efforts to release them,"

857
01:47:49,190 --> 01:47:53,310
<i>instead of that, you need to
flatter the wife of the Prime Minister</i>

858
01:47:53,440 --> 01:47:56,230
<i>and say,
"Oh, Sara, you're so helpful,"</i>

859
01:47:56,360 --> 01:48:01,070
and, "Thank you so much
for investing the time and the energy."

860
01:48:01,200 --> 01:48:04,950
The hostage families
are in a very delicate situation.

861
01:48:05,080 --> 01:48:10,290
Like, almost every hostage family I know
is very, very critical of Netanyahu.

862
01:48:10,410 --> 01:48:14,640
But I know that many of them
are very, very scared

863
01:48:14,770 --> 01:48:17,580
<i>to speak their criticism,</i>

864
01:48:17,700 --> 01:48:19,630
<i>that if they do...</i>

865
01:48:19,760 --> 01:48:23,340
the government will try
even less for the hostages.

866
01:48:23,470 --> 01:48:25,640
What is the higher priority
at this moment -

867
01:48:25,760 --> 01:48:27,350
totally eliminating Hamas,

868
01:48:27,470 --> 01:48:30,730
or saving the lives of those hostages
and getting them free?

869
01:48:30,850 --> 01:48:35,230
The reason we succeeded
in getting 110 hostages out -

870
01:48:35,360 --> 01:48:37,110
that's half the hostages -

871
01:48:37,230 --> 01:48:40,150
is because we applied military pressure,
not because we stopped applying it.

872
01:48:40,280 --> 01:48:44,530
We understand, also, that the
one thing that gets Hamas to give them -

873
01:48:44,660 --> 01:48:46,660
to give these hostages to us -

874
01:48:46,780 --> 01:48:49,080
is the continued military pressure.

875
01:48:49,200 --> 01:48:53,200
The only thing that gets Hamas to
release the hostages is military pressure.

876
01:48:54,210 --> 01:48:59,460
<i>The argument that
only military pressure will produce a deal</i>

877
01:48:59,590 --> 01:49:02,810
<i>proved tragically erroneous.</i>

878
01:49:04,010 --> 01:49:07,220
And yet, the war continues aimlessly!

879
01:49:07,350 --> 01:49:09,820
I mean, is the objective the last...

880
01:49:11,140 --> 01:49:15,730
...Hamas soldier with a weapon in a tunnel?

881
01:49:15,860 --> 01:49:17,690
That will take years!

882
01:49:17,820 --> 01:49:20,030
And how many casualties?

883
01:49:20,150 --> 01:49:21,690
<i>I think we have to finish the job.</i>

884
01:49:21,820 --> 01:49:23,200
<i>We</i> can <i>finish the job.</i>

885
01:49:23,320 --> 01:49:26,870
<i>Victory is within reach,
and that's our goal - total victory.</i>

886
01:49:26,990 --> 01:49:30,370
Our fight is your fight,
and our victory is your victory.

887
01:49:30,490 --> 01:49:33,160
Tonight, I want to speak to you
about total victory.

888
01:49:33,290 --> 01:49:34,370
Total victory over Hamas.

889
01:49:34,500 --> 01:49:37,210
Unless we have total victory,
we can't have peace.

890
01:49:37,330 --> 01:49:40,800
"Total victory"
doesn't actually mean anything here,

891
01:49:40,920 --> 01:49:42,470
in actuality.

892
01:49:42,590 --> 01:49:45,050
You know all the casualties
and death and suffering,

893
01:49:45,180 --> 01:49:48,430
and that's what it looks like, in reality.
That's what it looks like.

894
01:49:48,550 --> 01:49:51,270
That's what those words actually mean.

895
01:49:53,600 --> 01:49:57,310
<i>My dear friends,
the war in Gaza could end tomorrow</i>

896
01:49:57,440 --> 01:50:01,980
<i>if Hamas surrenders, disarms,
and returns all the hostages.</i>

897
01:50:05,030 --> 01:50:06,820
That's what "total victory" means,

898
01:50:06,950 --> 01:50:09,240
and we will settle for nothing less!

899
01:50:13,040 --> 01:50:16,280
<i>Netanyahu goes to the Congress</i>

900
01:50:16,400 --> 01:50:19,590
<i>because he needs the Americans
desperately.</i>

901
01:50:19,710 --> 01:50:23,130
My friends,
I came to assure you today of one thing -

902
01:50:23,260 --> 01:50:26,090
we will win!

903
01:50:26,220 --> 01:50:29,980
<i>He wants the Israeli public
to be proud</i>

904
01:50:30,110 --> 01:50:35,910
to have their leader speak
in front of this very prestigious group...

905
01:50:38,020 --> 01:50:40,420
<i>...and getting applaud so many times.</i>

906
01:50:42,940 --> 01:50:44,780
He's speaking to the American Congress,

907
01:50:44,900 --> 01:50:47,440
but he's really speaking
to the Israeli public.

908
01:50:48,450 --> 01:50:51,450
Together, we shall defend
our common civilisation.

909
01:50:51,580 --> 01:50:56,660
Together, we shall secure
a brilliant future for both our nations!

910
01:50:58,870 --> 01:51:02,590
<i>Well, I would say that,
tragically,</i>

911
01:51:02,710 --> 01:51:04,600
the Americans don't know
how to call him out.

912
01:51:07,260 --> 01:51:11,300
<i>There was no plan
for ending the war of Gaza,</i>

913
01:51:11,430 --> 01:51:15,440
bringing the hostages home,
and changing dynamics in the region.

914
01:51:15,560 --> 01:51:17,810
<i>And things only got worse.</i>

915
01:51:24,650 --> 01:51:28,820
<i>Netanyahu
is the architect of chaos.</i>

916
01:51:30,530 --> 01:51:35,120
<i>And, as we speak,
when all eyes are on the front in Gaza</i>

917
01:51:35,240 --> 01:51:38,290
<i>and the front in Lebanon...</i>

918
01:51:42,960 --> 01:51:45,880
<i>..he is implementing his plan
in the West Bank</i>

919
01:51:46,010 --> 01:51:48,970
<i>with the extreme right.</i>

920
01:51:53,850 --> 01:51:58,850
He may create a situation
where it's irreversible.

921
01:52:00,480 --> 01:52:03,940
<i>He's the great example...</i>

922
01:52:04,060 --> 01:52:07,740
of a leader that lead his people...

923
01:52:07,860 --> 01:52:08,940
to the wrong place.
