Canceling Netanyahu’s Trial
Question
Hello Rabbi,
The Rabbi wrote in his column that he doesn’t see how the reform would help Bibi cancel his trial.
But there are a few not-so-farfetched possibilities for that:
appointing an Attorney General on his behalf who would drag out the cases, or giving him a plea bargain without moral turpitude. Why does the Rabbi think that’s not realistic?
Thank you
Answer
Because in my opinion it’s not realistic. A plea bargain has to be acceptable to the judges. It’s hard to see how an Attorney General intervenes in the middle of the proceedings. All along it’s been clear that the one leading the reform is Levin and not Bibi, who is being pressured by him. And besides, replacing the Attorney General is not connected to the reform.
