Tucker Carlson’s latest documentary, The Bibi Files, has gone viral across social media, sparking intense debate over its explosive allegations about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his inner circle.

Released by the Tucker Carlson Network, the film focuses on long-standing corruption cases against Netanyahu. Carlson, who has been critical of the Israeli leader even before the current regional tensions, promoted the documentary by highlighting that it has reportedly been banned in Israel — a move that has further boosted global interest and online engagement.

In a post on X, the Tucker Carlson Network wrote: “Our latest documentary, The Bibi Files, is banned in Israel. Actually. The reason is simple and draconian. This film exposes years of stories the Netanyahu government wants to keep hidden. Over-the-top corruption allegations, shady backroom deals, the prime minister’s anti-US geopolitical manoeuvres, and so much more.”

The documentary features insider testimony and previously unreleased police interrogation footage from Netanyahu’s corruption investigations between 2016 and 2018. Among the widely circulated clips are alleged recordings of billionaire couple Miriam and Sheldon Adelson expressing frustration with Netanyahu, particularly his wife Sara.

In one clip, Sheldon Adelson is heard saying he believes Israel would be better off if Sara Netanyahu stayed out of politics, describing her as “very unforgiving.” Another clip reportedly shows Miriam Adelson expressing fear over potential fallout if certain information became public.

The film’s release comes amid heightened geopolitical sensitivity due to the ongoing Iran war and broader regional instability. Directed by Alexis Bloom and produced by Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney, The Bibi Files has drawn significant attention for its timing and controversial content.
