The Israeli prosecutor's office announced that it is open to discussions with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to explore a possible plea deal in the corruption trial against him. This initiative was launched by President Isaac Herzog, who called for a dialogue between the prosecution and the accused on April 28, in the context of Netanyahu's request for clemency regarding the three criminal cases in which he is accused of fraud, breach of trust, and bribery.
The trial has generated polarization in the Israeli political scene, with the opposition against a plea deal without an admission of guilt, while some government members support closing the judicial proceedings to ensure institutional stability. In this context, Netanyahu canceled a scheduled hearing, and frequent delays of his testimonies have become a common practice, citing security reasons or health issues. He is involved in three cases, including case '4000', which refers to favors granted to a businessman in exchange for favorable media coverage.
