About
Yonatan Hasson worked as a private driver and household manager for Hollywood producer Arnon Milchan and Australian billionaire James Packer. In October 2022, he testified in the corruption trial of former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (Case 1000, also known as the Illegal Gifts Affair), confirming previous testimony by Hadas Klein, Milchan's personal assistant. Hasson stated that he made 20-25 deliveries of luxury champagne and cognac to the Netanyahu residence, and that '99%' of high-end cigars purchased by Milchan were intended for Netanyahu. He described instances where he was instructed to bring specific items like champagne to Caesarea, where Netanyahu directed him to the kitchen.
