Hefetz was interrogated by Adv. Amit Hadad, Netanyahu's lawyer, and this is the 16th day of his cross-examination

.

Haddad: You said that Netanyahu talked to you about stabilizing, but beyond that you have no memory of the conversation with Noni Mozes, publisher of Yedioth Ahronoth, you did not talk to Sheldon, the owner of Israel Today, and the only person you talk to is Milchen (the billionaire close to Netanyahu Arnon Milchen - YF).

Object: True.

Haddad: All the information about distribution numbers - this is from Milchen

Haddad went on to ask Hefetz about Milchen's "genius": in the recordings you see, for example, in your conversations with Milchen, he calls the conversation between Noni and Sheldon "Genon".

You also tell in the interrogations, often complaining about the "etiquette" between Sheldon, Noni and Bibi.

Hefetz confirmed and Hadad continued: Confirm to me that Netanyahu told you that he thinks every conversation with Noni is recorded.

Hefetz: Netanyahu himself does not record conversations, it is a rare event that there is a recording, he does not record, he is afraid of it, I have no knowledge about Noni Mozes.

Haddad: I did not ask if he was recording, I asked if Netanyahu thought so, and quoted Milchen: "Bibi told me every conversation with Noni was recorded."

Hefetz: Netanyahu thinks he is being recorded all the time, he is always careful, he is very aware of the matter.

Hefetz subsequently passed the investigation to Adv. Niv Sabag, who represents Yedioth Ahronoth publisher Noni Mozes in the 2000 case. Sabag investigated Hefetz regarding events surrounding Israel's bill today.

Niv Sabag: You wrote in a diary, on December 15, Bibi called me to his room so that I could send a message to Noni regarding a bill being formulated in the Knesset regarding Israel today. Bibi said that Sheldon sees this as crossing a red line and that he can print 600,000 copies and even a million, and that Sheldon grew up in Las Vegas, he defeated the biggest gangsters and he could win any war.

Hefetz: I have witnessed many cases where Miriam Adelson or Sheldon call Bibi and Sarah, and take me out of the room, and start a whole noni symposium, this is an example of such a case. I witnessed Netanyahu's talks with the editor of Israel Today with Amos Regev in which he demanded that Israel today enter Moses with all its might. Sheldon - Only Bibi would talk to him. I would be taken out of the room but I would hear the context of the conversation, broken cries of 'Do something against Mr. Moses' They would complain that Israel today is too soft in front of Yedioth Ahronoth.

Niv Sabag: Confirm to me that Israel's bill today adds another mess

: it has increased the flames in an unusual way, it's people who are overseas and get their information from the prime minister, and it is important to them that the State of Israel is run properly.

Niv Sabag asked Hefetz whether, in his view, Mozes was behind the legislative moves of Israel today

Hefetz: It makes no economic sense, this newspaper loses tens of millions every year at best, for unequivocally destroying the life enterprise of Arnon Mozes, so I fully understood him.

I understood these moves of legislation that he was leading them to protect the enterprise of his life.

Look at the data, how many workers have been fired at Yedioth Ahronoth since they founded Israel Today.

It eliminated Maariv, I was there.

Cuff added that "Natan Eshel, in 2009, described to me in detail that the reason for establishing Israel today was to eliminate Yedioth Ahronoth. He will establish Israel today and eliminate Yedioth Ahronoth. "
