In a fiery start to Bloomberg’s inaugural Screentime conference, Hollywood superagent Ari Emanuel took shots at rival Creative Artists Agency, the leadership at Paramount Global and Fox Corp., and called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to step down.

“This past weekend was one of the worst pogroms in history, not including the Holocaust,” Emanuel said. “I just think it’s time that we get rid of this man.”
