In the video: Netanyahu addresses the issue of the plea deal in the Alps cases (Walla system!)

Against the background of reports of opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu's contacts with Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit over a plea deal at his trial, we returned to the archives, and to Netanyahu's sweeping denials from the past about the possibility of signing a plea deal.

For example, in an election interview with Walla!

At the end of February 2020, Netanyahu was asked if he would try to reach a plea deal, and his answer was unequivocal: "Zero, absolutely not. The only deal I want to reach is the 'deal of the century', which brings blessing and huge news to the State of Israel."

The interview took place a few days before the third election in March 2020, and a few weeks before the Alps trial opened in the Jerusalem District Court.

Netanyahu also denied that he spoke at all about the possibility of a plea deal with his lawyers.

"Absolutely not, and I have rejected any attempt by journalists and others to promote such a thing. I said, I am going to shatter all the delusional and idle claims that have sewn up on me," he replied.

Contrary to the sweeping denials of the past, since Ben Caspit's exposure of the contacts in a plea deal, there has been no denial or reaction of any kind on behalf of Netanyahu or his associates.
