Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu’s new interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes” was filmed at the Yerushalayim home of billionaire businessman and longtime Netanyahu family associate Simon Falic, according to a report aired by Kan News.
The interview, which aired last night, was reportedly recorded inside Falic’s private residence in Yerushalayim.
Sources cited in the report claimed that Netanyahu spends a significant amount of time at the home of the Jewish-American businessman and donor.
The Prime Minister’s Office did not respond to requests for comment regarding the report.
Simon Falic and his family are well-known Jewish-American philanthropists and business figures who have donated extensively to causes and political figures in both Israel and the United States.
During the early months of the war, reports surfaced that Prime Minister Netanyahu and his wife had temporarily moved into the Falic family’s Yerushalayim residence.
Last year, Netanyahu also hosted the סעודת שביעי של פסח together with U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee and his wife at the Falic home. Although members of the Falic family were present at the gathering alongside Netanyahu and the ambassador, their names were omitted from the official government statement released afterward, which focused only on Netanyahu and Huckabee.
The Falic family has maintained close ties with numerous public figures and organizations in Israel over the years. In November 2023, right-wing activist Berale Crombie reportedly conducted a tour of Kfar Aza for Falic while dressed in military uniform.
In the “60 Minutes” interview, Netanyahu discussed the ongoing war against Iran and indicated that Israel believes additional military and strategic objectives still remain.
“I think we accomplished a great deal, but it’s not over. Because there’s still nuclear material, enriched uranium that has to be taken out of Iran. There are still enrichment sites that have to be dismantled. There are still proxies that Iran supports, and ballistic missiles that they still want to produce. Now, we damaged a lot of that, but all of it is still there, and there’s work to do,” Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu’s remarks appear to reflect growing concern in Israel surrounding any potential agreement with Iran, particularly regarding the removal of enriched uranium from Iranian territory.
The prime minister also hinted at conversations with President Donald Trump regarding possible next steps.
“I’m not going to talk about military means, but what President Trump told me is, ‘I want to go in there.’ And I think it can be done physically — that’s not the problem. If you have an agreement, and you go in and take it out — why not? That’s the best way,” Netanyahu told CBS.
More likely filmed by AI. Why Couldn’t AI make him look like the real Bibi?
You said it well. This man ain’t no Bibi.
Who cares that the interview was filmed at the Falic residence? Is this supposed be evidence of corruption or is this just gossip.
Bibi’s “corruption” is like the persecution and bullying of Trump orchestrated by the left and judicial court.
While this report was likely originally generated by opposition media in an attempt to highlight continued “corrupt activities” beyond just cigars, it is highly detrimental to national security and should never have been published (I’m not calling out Matzav for republishing, I’m calling out the indiscretion of the original author)
Can you please post Mr. Falic’s email address and cellphone number?
