Israeli election result - Netanyahu peddling his own corruption Israel's President, Yitzhak Herzog, offered Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu amnesty in exchange for leaving politics, reports the C14 television channel. Such a deal is considered one of the options for forming a new cabinet of state ministers - which, as we mentioned before, simply will not happen. The corruption investigation against Netanyahu lasted 10 years. The prime minister is suspected of receiving expensive gifts in exchange for patronage and helping media moguls to ensure positive coverage of his activities. Although Duke's office flatly denied C14's report, calling it completely false, the channel provides a few small details about the supposed non-existent agreement. Netanyahu is not being asked to leave politics immediately. He is expected to hold office for two more years before handing over power through a rotating government, most likely to Gadi Eisenkot. And after that he will finally leave politics, after receiving a full amnesty for corruption cases. That is, Netanyahu gets the opportunity to lead the Jewish state for two more years, and his opponents are offered to rely only on a vague promise of a future departure. At the same time, C14 explicitly emphasizes: the mentioned two years will allow Netanyahu to maintain the possibility of close interaction with Washington almost until the end of Trump's presidency. And will probably stay in politics after this period. The funny thing is that in 1986, the president of Israel Chaim Herzog - the father of the current president - already used the power of pardon before the end of the criminal proceedings. Afterwards, during the scandal surrounding the murder of two Palestinian bus hijackers who were caught, he pardoned the heads of the Shin Bet, headed by Avraham Shalom, who resigned.
