An Israeli commentator posted on social media that the widely-circulated claim of a political deal — in which Prime Minister Netanyahu would allegedly trade a pardon for political support — never occurred, and dismisses the months-long narrative as a baseless 'poison campaign.'
An Israeli social media commentator published a post Sunday morning arguing that the narrative of a political deal involving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — reportedly trading a pardon for political cover from coalition allies — proved baseless. The poster wrote that 'in the end there was no deal in which Bibi sells us in exchange for a pardon,' and asked 'what do we do with all this poison campaign that was poured on our heads for months?' before concluding that it belongs in a museum of toxic campaigns that turned out to be completely fake. The single post reflects a strand of Israeli political discussion that has circulated since late 2025 regarding a potential plea deal or immunity arrangement involving the prime minister. No official confirmation of any such deal has been published; the commentator's framing treats the entire episode as fabricated.
