Hapoel Ironi Tiberias is set to finalize a plea deal with the Football Association on Monday morning regarding the "transfer case." The team will have three points deducted, a move met with mixed reactions. While club officials are relieved the saga is ending, the deduction will return the team to a negative points standing, potentially one point below zero if they don't win their upcoming match against Netanya. This situation significantly complicates their fight to remain in the Premier League.

The club lauded its legal team, led by lawyers Zion Amir and Eyal Yaffe, for their intensive efforts in reaching an agreement with the Football Association's legal department. Initially, the association had sought a double-digit point deduction, but this was later deemed unlikely as negotiations progressed.

Despite the relief that the lengthy process is concluding, the point deduction is seen as a harsh penalty. "A punishment is a punishment. We will try to believe we can survive in the league and get out of the negative again, but we are still in deep trouble," one player stated.

Separately, developments are expected on Monday in the "Mirror Image" case. Arieh Kalmanzon, Miki Beitan, Eliran Hodada, and Yael Bar are scheduled for a remand extension hearing at the Rishon LeZion Magistrate's Court. The expectation is that they will be released to house arrest. Following the conclusion of the police investigation, the prosecution will decide whether to file indictments and against whom.
