Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has requested a court order to prevent the screening of a film titled 'The Bibi Files' at the Toronto Film Festival. The film includes previously unheard recordings from Netanyahu's police interrogations related to his criminal investigations. Netanyahu submitted an urgent request to the Jerusalem District Court to hold an emergency discussion and ban the broadcast of any audio or video from these interrogations. However, the Israeli court has rejected his request, and questions remain about its jurisdiction in Canada.
