Milchan praised Netanyahu for saving the life of James Packer (Haaretz)
In one of Arnon Milchan’s statements to the police, he praised Netanyahu for saving the life of Australian tycoon James Packer. It turns out Packer was going through a serious personal crisis and his health had deteriorated. “I asked Bibi to pick up a phone and call Jimmy to save his life,” Milchan said. “I and other people were worried; we thought that if we didn’t act quickly, his life would be in danger. Bibi was the only one who managed to convince him to come to Israel. I think that saved his life.”
