European Parliament to screen 'The Bibi Files' ahead of Israel's 2026 Knesset election

The documentary film "The Bibi Files," which is critical of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and based partly on his police interrogation footage, will be screened at the European Parliament in Brussels on September 29, four weeks before Israel's 2026 Knesset election. The screening, initiated by Italy's Five Star Movement, is not an official European Parliament event. Directed by Alexis Bloom and produced by Oscar winner Alex Gibney, the film utilizes over 1,000 hours of leaked interrogation materials from 2016-2018 involving Netanyahu, his family, and associates. It examines allegations of receiving gifts and his relationships with media organizations, expanding beyond known corruption cases to link his legal struggles with broader Israeli political developments, including judicial reform and wartime governance. Netanyahu denies the charges, asserting they are politically motivated.
