In ‘Bibi Files,’ PM Repeats ‘I Don’t Know,’ Wife Sara Says Questioning Cops Fed With Lies

The Toronto, Canada screening of the two-hour film “The Bibi Files” has taken place, showcasing excerpts from police interrogations involving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his wife Sara, their son Yair, and others, as part of the ongoing corruption investigations leading to Netanyahu’s trial.

Despite the film’s use of leaked interrogation footage, which makes it illegal to broadcast in Israel, the producers — Alexis Bloom, Alex Gibney, and Israeli journalist Raviv Drucker — remain hopeful that the film will eventually reach Israeli viewers through alternative means.

Reports from the Toronto event indicate that the film features numerous instances where Netanyahu responds with “I don’t know” or “I don’t remember,” which Haaretz describes as appearing almost absurdly implausible.

In one notable scene, Netanyahu is queried about the number of champagne bottles gifted by billionaire Arnon Milchan to his wife. Netanyahu responds by dismissing the importance of bottle-counting and instead referring to the number of warheads possessed by Israel’s adversaries as the relevant figures he knows.

Another segment shows Netanyahu reacting angrily to claims made by his former advisor Nir Hefetz and Bezeq major shareholder Shaul Elovitch. In this scene, Netanyahu vehemently denounces them as “Liars! Liars!”

The film also portrays Sara and Yair Netanyahu confronting their interrogators individually. Yair accuses them of being involved in a conspiracy to depose his father and aligning with the “extreme left,” while Sara is depicted criticizing the officers for spreading falsehoods and threatening to leave if the accusations continue, asserting: “What will you do? Stop me with force?”

Various reports suggest that while the film does not present much new information beyond what has already been reported, the visual footage offers a deeper insight into the dynamics and Netanyahu’s mindset during the interrogations. It is noted that the film is primarily intended for international audiences.

The movie is structured in chronological order, beginning with Netanyahu’s 2015 election victory and extending to the present day. Interspersed between the interrogation footage are interviews and commentary from Drucker — who identifies himself as “the enemy of the Netanyahu family” — as well as remarks from former Shin Bet chief Ami Ayalon and ex-prime minister Ehud Olmert.

According to Haaretz, the screenings proceeded without incident, despite the presence of numerous anti-Netanyahu protesters outside the venue.
