Netanyahu's political future on the line: According to reports, a presidential pardon is linked to his retirement According to reports, Israeli President Yitzhak Herzog has offered a deal that would allow Benjamin Netanyahu to escape his lengthy corruption trial, provided he retires permanently from politics, according to Israel's Channel 14. The reported proposal comes as Israel faces uncertainty over the formation of its next government, with ballots still being counted and no clear governing majority determined. Such an arrangement could remove Netanyahu from the political equation and open the door to a new coalition. Netanyahu's legal troubles go back almost a decade. He faces allegations related to lavish gifts from wealthy benefactors and arrangements with powerful media figures aimed at securing favorable news coverage in exchange for political or regulatory favors. The main question now is whether Netanyahu will consider sacrificing his political career to bring an end to his legal battles.
