A classic story for anyone with even the slightest interest in politics, whatever your country of origin.
As a Frenchman, the corruption of this Israeli politician often reminded me of the life of Nicolas Sarkozy, except that we managed to get rid of him after his first term.
Apart from the fact that we learn that the entire Netanyahu family is just as corrupt as he is, and completely full of themselves, like people who enjoy their own gastric emanations.
His desperate attempt to stay in power with the dregs of humanity, namely Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, leaves only one ominous horizon for the region's near future.
The status of perpetual war launched in 2023 will enable this tyrant to remain in power indefinitely, leaving the way clear for the extremists who want to annex the whole of the Palestinian landmass and beyond, while being supported by the army and institutions of a state on the verge of implosion.

It shows there is definitely two levels of society the accountable (us) and them!! How many years ago did the Panama Papers expose wide spread money laundering? How long was Syria producing high scale opioid's with full immunity. The world needs to change for the better greed is not the way forward. If what is happening in the middle east is the legacy we are leaving our kids globally as this affects us all I am ashamed when my generation were 'going to change the world' yeah right. Once the hippies hit the corporate world greed set in and pasts forgotten, try buying a beach shack and opting out? I see my generation walking around in their 'designer hippy clothes' and enough bling to feed a small country for a year. Then, they jump in their Porsche and drive away hypocrites and totally shallow role models.
Beyond the explicit corruption charges, "The Bibi Files" suggests a more sinister undercurrent: that Netanyahu's relentless pursuit to evade justice has deeply impacted Israel's political landscape and even its security. The documentary posits that his efforts to avoid prosecution influenced his political decisions, including his attempts to weaken the judiciary, which sparked massive protests across Israel. It even implies a connection between his legal entanglements and his approach to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, suggesting that prolonging the war could serve as a means to delay his trial and maintain power.
What makes "The Bibi Files" particularly impactful is its use of raw, unvarnished interrogation footage. This direct access to the private world of the Netanyahus, usually hidden behind carefully constructed public images, is both voyeuristic and deeply revealing. It provides a chilling insight into the mentality of a leader and his inner circle, whose sense of entitlement seemingly knows no bounds. The film's meticulous organization of this vast amount of footage into a coherent timeline is commendable, allowing the viewer to follow the complex legal and political threads.

Eye-opening documentary shedding light not just on Netanyahu but also on the background to the tragic events in Gaza and some deeply disturbing elements of Israeli society.
Unlike what some have written here, the documentary is not based on hearsay, but on police interviews with the involved parties and the movie makers' interviews with some key characters connected to the upper echelons of Israeli society.
So the sources are primary, and this lends credence to the accusations against Netanyahu being put forward, but, more importantly, paints a picture of some of the motivations behind Netanyahu's and wider Israeli society's gruesome treatment of Gaza.
Spend 1½ hours to better understand contemporary Israel and the events in Gaza. The editing and storytelling will keep you interested, and enlightening films such as this one can play an important role in putting an end to catastrophes such as the one unfolding in the Middle East right now.

One of the BEST documentaries I have ever seen. I laughed quite a bit at these people and their delusional, out-of-touch-with-reality mindsets. They're stuck in Narcissistic Mode. But then I stopped laughing after they got through all the recorded interrogations when they showed how Netanyahu's and Wife's twisted minds and the twisted minds of their "cohorts" has resulted in War for no other reason other than to stall his trial, keep him out of jail and in power. We got one lone wolf that just killed a healthcare CEO, you bet they went after him, got him and there will be no delay or doubt where he's going. But we've got these Leaders killing 10's and 100's of thousands of people, using them basically as HUMAN SHIELDS! Putin, your day's coming too! The times Netanyahu and his Alcoholic, Diamond Crazy Wife told police interrogators "they (the interrogators) should be ashamed" ... I'm like MAN, these people belong in an insane asylum. They've wracked up so much Shame they should be drowning in it. They have absolutely NO SHAME - NO HUMANITY. - A huge Thank You, Bravo! Standing ovation! ... to everyone involved in the making of this Excellently DONE Documentary about the reality of those in Power from high to low, they're all the same character ... narcissists/sociopaths, PSYCHPATHS. Major SERIAL KILLERS DELUXE VERSIONS! Why does the MAJORITY put up with them????

Self - Childhood Friend: Bibi told me one day, that Yair can replace him. My eyebrows went up, "Yair can replace you? First of all, you can't appoint your son. Why can he be considered?" He said, "Well, he has the capability." He really thinks that it's like a kingdom.
