Opinion | The State Attorney's Office will continue to eat the porridge it cooked: all the reasons why it is good that there is no deal in Netanyahu's cases | Israel today

The arrangement that was temporarily dropped from the chapter was intended to extract from the mud the enforcement systems no less than the opposition chairman • If signed, the message to public figures was that the system could frustrate any of them - including the most popular politician in the country • The following may offer Netanyahu a more convenient arrangement • Interpretation


Netanyahu was right when he said that the cases are crumbling in court.

But this is probably not the reason why he did not sign a plea deal now.

The fact that he did not sign does not mean that he will not sign in the future.

The Netanyahu trial will continue for a few more good years.

Exit points for a plea deal can also pop up later.

The current ombudsman is invested in the case, and it would not be an exaggeration to state that his professional fate depends on him. Mandelblit acted weakly when he agreed to open investigations and when he decided to file the indictments,

The next ombudsman may be much less committed to Netanyahu's conviction and more attentive to what is happening in court, where the law enforcement system disintegrates almost daily, with revelations of wrongdoing, deceptive investigations and cropping the law becoming routine. Even if it does not come to an end, and that other important testimonies such as the testimony of Shlomo Pilber, Ari Haru and Netanyahu himself will be heard by all.

In recent years, the legal issue and the need to deal with the legal system and law enforcement has become a central and essential issue for Likud supporters.

The trial while in Ivo would have put the big party in the Knesset years back, when the issue did not concern its leaders at all, and perhaps even the opposite, took care to fortify and establish the rule of judges and legal advisers, stood aside when Aaron Barak caused his big revolution in the 90s and did not advance. A law or reform to establish the proper order of government.



Netanyahu refers to the plea deal: "I will continue to lead you and fight for our path, truth and justice"

A plea bargain not only would have prevented the right lesson from the same system, but taught another lesson to politicians, that there are issues not to be touched upon, and even if the most popular prime minister in the last decade managed to take down, they would succeed in taking down anyone who dared to challenge their hegemony.

It does not matter if it is a person who has penetrated this mission like Yariv Levin or Amir Ohana, or a reformer in the pound and a serial worshiper like Gideon Saar.

The fact that there is no signature has spared them the matter, at least for now.

The biggest gainer in the short term is Naftali Bennett.

The prime minister knew that a plea deal would devour his cards and ruin his coalition.

The big losers are the candidates for the Likud presidency who already thought that a donor would arrive in a moment.

So much so that some mice could no longer resist the moment when the signing would be a fait accompli and were already in a hurry to get out of the holes and betray the code of their hearts.

But it was too early and unsuccessful, which means that sometimes there is nothing more important than timing in politics.

The government, its leaders and ministers also revealed their cowardice when, as soon as the contacts for a plea deal were made, they set up a state commission of inquiry into the submarine affair to signal to Netanyahu that he could close whatever he wanted with Mandelblit, and the pursuit would continue.

A government whose only thing that was about to escape must from time to time renew its stickiness by another new initiative against Netanyahu, otherwise it will lose its right to exist.

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
