Alex Gibney argues Netanyahu's judicial reform push specifically targeted the courts handling his own corruption trial.
Gibney claims Netanyahu permitted Qatari cash deliveries to Hamas for years to keep it strong as a counterweight to the Palestinian Authority.
This strategy, according to Gibney, aimed to block a two-state solution and appease Netanyahu's far-right coalition partners.
Trump falsely claimed Iran begged for a pause; Iranian officials deny any negotiation took place.

Saagar Enjeti says Israel could run out of Arrow missile interceptors within days, based on Royal United Services Institute data.
The U.S. has used 40% of its THAAD interceptor stockpile and may deplete it completely by mid-April, creating a cliff edge.
Without defensive interceptors, U.S. bases and Israeli infrastructure become vulnerable to attack, changing the war's strategic math.
The Pentagon is drafting 'final blow' plans, including seizing strategic islands in the Strait of Hormuz to force a resolution.
Another military option involves ground operations inside Iran to secure enriched uranium from mountain bunkers, aimed at a quick victory.

Enjeti noted that Iranian and US negotiators are in active talks, a clear sign the White House recognizes the war with Iran has become a quagmire.
Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti reported that Israel is launching a major ground incursion into Lebanon, exploiting the cover of US political paralysis.
Ball criticized the New York Times for framing Israel's invasion of Lebanon as a decision to 'continue to control' captured territory, rather than an aggressive war of expansion.
Enjeti argued the situation creates a surreal split-screen where the US president and generals scramble for an off-ramp with Iran while Israel uses the resulting cover to open a new front.
The hosts concluded that with the White House distracted and desperate, Israel faces no meaningful restraint, allowing the war Trump inherited to metastasize beyond his control.
Israel's security goal is not just a deal but the complete toppling of the Iranian regime.
Israeli jets cannot conduct long-range strikes on Tehran without American tankers providing mid-air refueling.
