Former Israeli PM understood to be in advanced talks with state attorney’s office over admitting to two counts of breach of trust
The former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly close to reaching a plea bargain in his corruption trial, a development that could mean an unexpectedly swift end to his turbulent political career and once again upend Israeli politics.
Israeli media was dominated on Sunday by the news that Netanyahu, the chair of the Likud party and leader of the opposition since being ousted from a 12-year-stint in government last year, has reached advanced talks with the state attorney’s office.
