Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stepped down from politics. However, a situation is going to be created in front of this leader soon to move away from politics forever. News from The Guardian.
A total of three charges have been filed against Netanyahu since Naftali Bennett took office as prime minister. These are: breach of trust, taking illegal gifts from rich friends and taking bribes from a telecom company. If convicted, Netanyahu could face long prison terms.
However, citing various Israeli media outlets, the Guardian reported that Netanyahu was going to admit his guilt through a “plea bargain” agreement before facing trial. As a result, even if he does not go to jail, his political career may end forever.
Netanyahu will not be able to enter politics until he is at least 80 years old if he admits his guilt through this agreement. As a result, he will have to leave politics permanently.
However, the official announcement of this agreement has not come yet. Netanyahu has been discussing the issue with Israeli Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit for several weeks. It is expected that an announcement will be made soon. However, after the plan to release Netanyahu without punishment came to light, ordinary people protested in several places in Israel.
It is thought that the implementation of this agreement could lead to the downfall of the Naftali Bennett government. However, the current government of the country is not giving much importance to this issue.
