Coverage of Netanyahu's plea deal: There's one question no one asks | Israel today

2022-01-17T06:59:56.974Z


None of the commentators and reporters in the studios ask how it is possible that a serious charge like bribery is deleted in a second in exchange for consent to retirement • Does that say anything about the strength of the charge in the first place?


It is still unclear if, when and in what outline Benjamin Netanyahu's plea deal will be signed, but according to the three days of television coverage and legal panels since the contacts were revealed - they all deal with all the legal questions surrounding the sensational deletion of the bribe clause. I call it "only in Israel."

After dozens of panels of commentators and court reports every weekend and last night in editions, all the questions and perplexities raised around the same "bribery" clause were raised: How was such a serious clause, dealing with theft, deleted in exchange for consent to retirement? And does the relatively easy removal of the accusation that led to the entire Ralav campaign indicate the "stitching" that the former prime minister's supporters claim?

Only one question that significantly reinforces the "man sewn" thesis has not arisen even once until now: How in centuries of history - is there only one leader, from a small country called Israel, who has been accused of bribery based on positive coverage?

This statistic, which has disappeared from the mouths of commentators, must be the basis for a discussion that the Israeli media is trying to hold, and the fact that everyone chooses to ignore it often indicates an over-motivation to hide it.

So from the Friday edition of Here 11 and the wife of the Minister of Justice, Geula Even, is not expected to remind us of the fact that only in Israel was such a startup accusation born of her husband's political rival.

But what about everything else?

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
