Bibi Files<\/em><\/a>, the documentary featuring unseen footage of the criminal investigation conducted in advance of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s trials, premiered at the Toronto Film Festival (TIFF) on Monday night.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

The film, which is still in development and seeking funding, was produced by Alex Gibney and directed by Alexis Bloom.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

The footage, which includes interviews with Netanyahu, his wife Sara, and his son Yair, among others, dates back to 2016-2018.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the footage, viewers reported that Netanyahu could be seen claiming he did not remember the events presented before him.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Following the Monday screening, KAN reported that among the figures who were interviewed for the documentary were state witness Nir Hefetz, former Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) head Ami Ayalon, and Avi Alkalay, former editor of\u00a0Walla\u00a0<\/em>who was a witness in\u00a0case 4000<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The film cannot be officially screened in Israel<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Regarding the participation of Israeli Channel 13 reporter Raviv Drucker, one of the film’s producers, Gibney, explained, according to KAN, that the production needed someone in Israel with ample knowledge and experience in criminal cases.<\/span><\/p>\n

He added that to protect the source as the basis of the film, there was an agreement with the source not to screen the film in Israel. However, Gibney noted that the film would probably make its way to Israel one way or another.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

On Monday, Netanyahu requested the court\u00a0to ban the publication of the documentary<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

The motion was directed at the State and Drucker, with Netanyahu’s lawyer, Adv. Amit Hadad argued that publishing the interrogations was illegal under Israeli law.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The court rejected Netanyahu’s request and ordered the State and Drucker to reply by Wednesday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

In 2019, Netanyahu was indicted in cases 4000, 2000, and 1000 on fraud, breach of trust, and accepting bribery.<\/span><\/p>\n
