The three episodes of this limited series deal with three events in the center of Prime Minister Begin: The peace agreement with Egypt, changes in the economic-social field, and the Lebanon war, during which he declared that he could no longer go on and retired. At the same time, he created the Devprived Alliance. Under this alliance, the ultra-Orthodox parties joined the coalition, the NRP received important ministries, including the ministry of education, and the Mizrahi-Traditional peripherents entered the corridors of the government.
Twenty years before the spectacle of Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu already understood the political benefits of a toxic relationship with the media, and direct communication with the public. King Bibi explores Netanyahu's rise to power, relying solely on archival footage of his media performances over the years: from his days as a popular guest expert on American TV, through his public confession of adultery, and his mastery of the art of social media. From one studio to another, "Bibi" evolved from Israel's great political hope, to a controversial figure whom some perceive as Israel's savior, and others - as a cynical politician who will stop at nothing to retain his power.
This limited series follows Sharon's term as PM from the moment he was elected. The series goes through his leadership under mass terror attacks, his willingness to support the two-state solution, his decision to start Operation Defensive Shield in 2002, his demand from the Palestinians to replace Yasser Arafat as a condition for all negotiations, the establishment of the separation fence, and the disengagement from Gaza that turned his greatest supporters into sworn enemies. In addition, the series returns to selected chapters in Sharon's life as a child in Kfar Malal, as a family person, as a soldier and as minister in Israeli governments. Among the interviewees: Gilad Sharon, Dov Weissglas, Eyal Bronze, Uri Monday, Moshe Kaplinsky, Israel Maymon, Assi Yavni, Tzipi Livni, Gideon Saar and Aria Eldad.
