Trailer for ‘The Bibi Files’ documentary featuring Netanyahu’s interrogation tapes drops

The Jolt independent film platform releases a trailer of “The Bibi Files,” an American documentary on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that features never-before-seen footage of the Israeli premier being questioned by police between 2016 and 2018.

Netanyahu denies any wrongdoing in the cases against him and claims that the charges were fabricated in a witch hunt led by the police and state prosecution, and facilitated by a weak attorney general.

“This is preposterous and insane,” the prime minister says during an investigation seen in the trailer. “You’re trying to incriminate the prime minister on nonsense.”

In another scene, he can be seen slamming his hand emphatically on the table as he denies what he calls “shameful” allegations.

The documentary is due for release on Jolt on December 11.

The recordings of Netanyahu’s corruption investigation featured in the documentary, leaked to renowned director Alex Gibney last year, include interviews with Netanyahu, his wife Sara, and his son Yair, along with friends, associates and household staff.

The film also contains interviews with former high-ranking Israeli officials, including convicted former prime minister Ehud Olmert, veteran Channel 13 journalist Raviv Drucker, and a survivor of the October 7 terrorist massacre in Kibbutz Be’eri.

Gibney has declined to comment on who gave him the interrogation recordings.
