An Israeli court this week rejected a request from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to block a documentary about his legal troubles from screening at a Canadian film festival.
The film, The Bibi Files, a reference to the prime minister’s nickname, contains video clips documenting Netanyahu, his wife Sara, and his son Yair, during police interrogations between 2016 and 2018 that sought to examine whether Netanyahu was involved in the corruption offenses attributed to him.
The prime minister is on trial for allegedly granting favors to media moguls in exchange for gifts and favorable media coverage. He denies wrongdoing and has called the trial, which began in 2020, a witch hunt.
The film casts a spotlight on the Israeli prime minister as he faces intense domestic and international pressure over his responsibility for the security failures leading to the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel and the ongoing war in Gaza.
