The Man Who Flew in to Grab (Hebrew: האיש שבא לקחת) is a 1982 Israeli comedy film directed by Prosper Priente.
A corrupt businessman named Geffen devises a plan to cash out his shares, purchase a suitcase filled with diamonds, and escape the country, leaving financial ruin behind.
Meanwhile, a French conman named Raboa (portrayed by Ze'ev Revach) arrives in Israel, presenting himself as a wealthy investor with substantial real estate holdings.
Under the guise of contributing to Israel's development, he gambles the money in the stock market, causing it to evaporate and triggering a financial scandal.
In a bizarre twist of fate, the French conman’s misdeeds inadvertently propel him into Israeli politics, where he unexpectedly campaigns for a seat in the Knesset.
