The Netanyahu’s infamous trial in Israel has entered a new territory, where the Likud leader might finally surrender to a plea deal, ending his political career
The deal can be a middle-way solution for both Netanyahu and the Israeli state. By not punishing Netanyahu so harshly, the state establishment might convey a coded political message to him that he will be respected somewhat if he doesn’t involve in direct political game. There is also another message that Israel is capable of punishing one of its own.
It means the anti-Netanyahu ruling coalition has the authority to choose the next attorney general, who can even potentially bring more accusations against Netanyahu. Mandelblit’s terms ends on January 31. The limited time also creates a serious problem for the Attorney General and the prosecutors because they need to reformulate their charges in parallel to the plea deal in less than two weeks.
