Netanyahu negotiating plea deal in corruption trial
Snip
The deal, which could be signed as early as this week, could usher Netanyahu off the Israeli political stage for years, paving the way for a leadership race in his Likud party and shaking up Israeli politics. Any deal could spare Netanyahu an embarrassing and protracted trial over an issue that has gripped the nation and risks tarnishing his legacy.
Reports of a deal angered critics who said a it would undermine the rule of law.
The man who worked to destroy the publics trust in the foundations of democracy for personal reasons is not eligible for deals, Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz tweeted. He was referring to Netanyahus attempts after he was indicted to cast doubt on Israels justice system, saying it was biased and pursuing a witch hunt against him.
Demonstrators gathered against the developing deal outside the attorney generals house Saturday evening. Any deal will likely be challenged in court.

There is no such thing as FULL ACCOUNTABILITY for these powerful criminals.
Always some sort of a deal or arrangement.
