ARNON MILCHAN SAID he introduced Cohen to Packer and the two became fast friends. At one point the three began discussing a joint business venture. Hadas Klein, former aide to both Milchan and Packer, told police Cohen would visit Packer, swim in his pool and smoke his cigars, similar to Netanyahu.
But she added, “He was really scared that Netanyahu would find out he came there. One time when he heard that Sara [Netanyahu] had arrived at [Packer’s] house in Caesarea by surprise, he made a U-turn and cancelled.”
Milchan and others testified that Cohen was in talks to join Packer and Milchan’s cybersecurity company, Blue Sky International, right up until his appointment as Mossad head in 2015.
