President Yitzhak Herzog has proposed a political compromise to resolve Israel's parliamentary deadlock, according to the C14 news resource. The initiative involves establishing a rotational government where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would serve for two years before permanently exiting public life in exchange for a presidential pardon.
Herzog reportedly developed this plan in secret over the past two years. The proposal aims to prevent the formation of an unstable minority government reliant on Arab political parties. Supporters believe this arrangement would allow Netanyahu to strengthen diplomatic ties with the United States and ensure national stability.
Analysts suggest that Herzog's past statements, indicating a willingness to consider a pardon request for the Prime Minister, point towards this potential exchange of a judicial pardon for a political departure. Sources indicate Netanyahu intends to serve the initial term to manage state affairs during critical international developments.
Meanwhile, the political system awaits the final election results and Knesset seat distribution. If the "national camp" gains a majority, Netanyahu's primary scenario involves attracting individual lawmakers from other parties. Otherwise, Israel could face new elections or a coalition with external support.
