Summary: Maccabi Haifa - Betar Jerusalem 0: 4 (Eighth Cup Final) (Sports 1)

Stefan Malul, who yesterday was revealed as the one who passed the memorandum of understanding as a first step towards an attempt to acquire Betar Jerusalem, was interviewed for the first time today by Lian Wildau on the "Half Day" program here on Net B. Among other things, he said: To do everything I need in Betar Jerusalem. I want to buy the club for the city. I want the team to be among the top five in Europe. I want to be number 1, but I know it's hard. But if we are 5-6 in Europe it will be wow! ".

Malul, 54, said in an interview from Paris that he owns several companies - in Abu Dhabi and France, which are engaged in the marketing and slaughter of kosher meat and "halal" and dismissed the doubts about his financial strength. According to him, he lives in both Paris and Abu Dhabi, but has held Israeli citizenship since 1985. He claims that within 25-20 days, after checking the books, he will know if he will buy the team: "There is a 70 percent chance that I will buy the club."

Malul is angry when he is portrayed in the media as only a French Jew: "I am not only a French Jew, I am also an Israeli."

The businessman added about his business activities, which are not highlighted in the networks: "I know the whole world is crazy now, you want to know something, you can see online, but I do not like it. I made money in my business."

The businessman reiterated that he intends to do an audit of the accounts before buying.

"If I see it's not good, I do not buy."

According to Malul, he will raise additional money in the United States from Jews who want to donate to Israel.

"I made a fund in the United States to take money from some companies there, to buy some players. Now I have to see how I can sell broadcasting rights," he said.

Regarding La Familia and bringing an Arab player to the team, Malul said that he is involved in the situation.

"There are good people all over the world. There are good and bad Jews and there are such Arabs. In Abu Dhabi there are very good people who love Jews and Israelis. We have a problem with the Arab politicians. I am a Zionist, I pray every day for Jerusalem and for Israel."
