In recent weeks, contacts have been taking place between Netanyahu and the State Attorney's Office over a plea deal in the trial against the former prime minister, according to sources quoted in detail.
The contacts lasted a long time and took place under complete secrecy, with few sharing the secret.
Recently, contacts exploded against the background of Netanyahu's uncompromising demand that the punishment not include imprisonment or disgrace.
It is not known who represented Netanyahu in the contacts, but on the part of the State Attorney's Office, Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit conducted the contacts, and they took place against the background of the end of his impending term.
The State Attorney's Office responded: "We do not respond as a policy to questions about conversations with defense attorneys, whether they have been or not. This does not confirm or deny anything of what has been alleged."
Netanyahu's response will be brought when it is received.

What is Netanyahu accused of?
In the 1000 case
(the gifts affair), Netanyahu is accused of receiving benefits from businessmen Arnon Milchen and James Packer worth about NIS 700,000, while he served as prime minister. The main gifts were cigars, champagne packages and jewelry.
In addition, it was alleged that Netanyahu acted in Milchen's favor in three matters, in which the businessman sought his intervention: he approached US Secretary of State John Kerry to extend the businessman's visa, he approached Finance Minister Yair Lapid to extend the exemption. A tax for returning residents, and he worked to promote a merger of "Keshet" and "Reshet" - ostensibly at Milchen's request. According to the lawsuit, these acts damaged the image of the public service and the public's trust in it. In this case, Netanyahu is accused
of fraud and breach of trust.
File 2000
The Netanyahu-Mozes affair deals with talks between Netanyahu and Yedioth Ahronoth publisher Noni Mozes. The deal is Moses, so he is accused of offering bribes. On the other hand, the ombudsman was also convinced that Netanyahu did not intend to complete the bribe deal, but continued the talks with Moses to improve his coverage in the Yedioth group, and there are even certain actions to do so.
In this case, Netanyahu is accused
of fraud and breach of trust.
Case 4000
(Bezeq-Walla affair) The most serious case for the prime minister concerns regulatory benefits worth hundreds of millions of shekels, which Netanyahu allegedly granted to Elowitz.
In return, according to the indictment, Elovich acted to skew the coverage on the Walla! Website, which was under his control.
In this case, Netanyahu is accused
of bribery.
