Netanyahu rejects plea deal with clause that would ban him from politics
Former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday rejected a plea deal that would ban him from politics for the next seven years.
The moral turpitude clause that the prosecution insisted on in his public corruption cases would have prevented Netanyahu from running for public office for seven years (following what was expected to be a sentence of community service).
'In recent days there have been false reports as if I accepted the moral turpitude clause," Netanyahu said in the video. "This is simply not true."
He went on to say that the outpouring of public support had moved him and that he would continue leading the Likud and the right-wing camp in Israel.
