The President of Israel offered Netanyahu amnesty in exchange for leaving politics? The President of Israel, Yitzhak Herzog, offered Netanyahu a deal: Netanyahu would retire from politics, and in return, Herzog would grant him amnesty for corruption charges that are currently being investigated in court. At least that's what the Israeli media is reporting. This could be a good deal: if Netanyahu announces his resignation, his Likud party could form a coalition with center-right people like Ishar! ", "Together" and "Israel Beytinu". This will leave behind both nationalists and fundamentalists, as well as the Arab parties, whose high results in the elections clearly worried the Israeli establishment. For Netanyahu, this is also a generally good option: his chances of remaining in the prime minister are so-so, and after his resignation it is likely that he will sit down. Therefore, he is trying to blame the Arab parties, to blame Netanyahu right now. Elections, probably hoping to get them recognized as failures, but it is not a fact that it will succeed. Herzog himself has so far denied information about Netanyahu's proposal and said that they will not interfere in the election process and the coalition negotiations. So obviously nothing is clear, but the information is interesting.
