The Netanyahu couple and David Artzi
Journalist Dan Raviv uploaded to YouTube the videotaped testimony of Artzi, who was previously also the deputy director general of IAI. Artzi testifies that Adv. David Shimron, Netanyahu’s cousin, presented him with the secret contract between the prime minister and his wife, in which Netanyahu allegedly expresses His consent to allow Sarah to participate in all secret discussions.
Artzi testified that according to the 15-page contract, which was signed by the Netanyahu couple with the addition of their ID numbers, the prime minister is not allowed to travel at night without his wife, and that in the event of a breach of contract – all their joint property will pass to the prime minister’s wife. .
Artzi saw the contract in 1999 during the first Netanyahu government. At that time, Artzi was close to the philanthropist Gita Schroever, and among other things arranged for her to fly a helicopter to Gabriel’s house, which bears her son’s name on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Schroever employed Adv. Shimron in “Retainer”, and at a certain point decided to fire him. Following this, Adv. Shimron turned to Artzi and asked him to intervene to cancel the evil of the decree.
Artzi testified: “One day I got a call from Uncle Shimron. ‘Meet me at a cafe on the sidewalk in Kfar Saba,’ and the guy stands in front of me and sheds tears. An older guy. Tells me: ‘David, she fired me. It keeps me alive. Without her retainer I’m a jerk. It keeps me alive. “Then all of a sudden, I remember it like yesterday, he picks up his case that was lying, opens it and pulls out a document. Tells me: ‘If I’m an idiot and an idiot then why do I make an agreement between the prime minister and his wife? “I will let you read it.” Then the agreement I go through and read, slowly, and I almost faint. “

He continued: “I went through the sections and my eyes darkened: one – if there is a night he can not travel without her. Two – she can attend all the secret meetings even though she has no security classification. Third thing – she approves the following appointments: head of the Mossad, head of the return “And the chief of staff. It is in its approval and the written approval. It was written that the approval will be given in writing. And if not? There is a breach of contract and the ‘panel’ in breach of contract is that all property passes by it.
“It says she will manage the money, it says her name how, and he will not have credit cards, she will only have credit cards and if he needs money she will give him cash. In short, she controls all things related to Bibi Netanyahu. Both in appointments, also in decisions of “Committees that can be security committees. She is invited to all the security meetings he attends. To decide whether she participates or not, she can enter the meetings in the middle. He is a person who does not have the skills to run the State of Israel.”

According to Artzi, the agreement also dealt with logistical issues such as restaurants, book and other personal issues. Asked why Shimron showed him the document, Artzi replied that it was intended to prove how close the lawyer is to the prime minister and his most sensitive matters – which indicates that he is not “stupid” as Artzi claims Rover claimed.
He added referring to the reason that Adv. Shimron showed him the contract that “he wanted to influence me that he had good relations, that one day if I wanted he would help me, so that I could help him with Gita. I saw the signatures of Sarah Netanyahu and Benjamin Netanyahu with their IDs. The signatures were on page 15. ”
Artzi stated in his testimony that he supports the Likud. He said that following the words of Adv. Shimron, he decided to contact Schroever and persuade her to work again with the prime minister’s associate. Journalist Raviv noted that he has known my countryman for many years and that he is a reliable and truthful person. Artzi’s testimony video has already garnered more than a quarter of a million views.

“What he describes happened to me too.” MK Avidar

MK Eli Avidar (Yisrael Beiteinu) said: “David Artzi is right, what he describes happened to me too. In December 1997, after Lieberman left the Prime Minister’s Office, David Bar-Ilan (who served as Director of the Communications and Political Planning Division at the Prime Minister’s Office) called me to rest, and invited me to have coffee with Prime Minister Netanyahu in Balfour at 6:00 p.m. .
“I arrived. 20 seconds into the meeting, Sarah Netanyahu entered and sat down. In a conditioned reflex, Netanyahu got up and said he had several phone calls to make. After 10 minutes of conversation I was amazed to understand that she was actually interviewing me. I said politely ‘Thank you for hosting me, “Busy. When he vacates – another meeting is scheduled.” I got up and left. That was the end of the brief affair with the Netanyahu family. Gentlemen, there is no need for a polygraph, David Artzi is right.
Prime Minister Netanyahu’s office responded: “A complete and recycled lie that will be dealt with legally.”
Adv. Shimron responded: “The video that David Artzi distributed on social media is a lie and a lie. I have never made such an agreement for Benjamin and Sarah Netanyahu, I have never seen an agreement that someone else made, and in any case I have not shown such an agreement to anyone. Artzi’s story about my agreement with Gita Rover is a lie. “I was not created. I represented Gita Schroever in many and varied areas for 18 years and my office represented her even before that for another 20 years. David Artzi’s statements are false and I intend to file a defamation lawsuit against him.”
In response to a statement from an associate and a cousin of the prime minister, Artzi suggested that Shimron undergo a polygraph test just as he had undergone two. Artzi said that four months ago Shimron invited him to his office and tried to bribe him allegedly not to publish the story.
“In his office in Tel Aviv, he said to me, ‘David, listen,’ he spoke kindly, ‘You know, I’m interested in aircraft, you’re the expert in the country for aircraft, what do you think? I have businessmen who want to start a company, you will be the CEO.” I said to him ‘Dear David, I understand why you are striving. I will continue on my way. ‘
“In my opinion he’s shaking with fear. I’m ready to go to the truth machine with him again, offer him this, that we’ll both go. Instead of suing, threatening, it’s not scaring me. “I would be happy for him to file a defamation lawsuit against me because I will invite the Netanyahu couple as defense witnesses.”
