The office of Israeli President Isaac Herzog has vehemently denied a Channel 14 report claiming the president intended to offer Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a pardon in exchange for a commitment to leave politics after two years in office. "A complete fake, nothing of the sort happened," the president's office stated in response to the Channel 14 publication. The statement emphasized that Herzog is not engaging in speculation about who will be tasked with forming the next government. "The official election results will be presented to the president only next Wednesday, as Judge Solberg announced. After that, the president will hold consultations with parliamentary factions and assess the situation according to the powers and broad discretion granted to him by law," the president's office said. On the evening of October 28, Channel 14 political correspondent Moti Castel reported that Herzog was promoting a plan for a national unity government with a rotating premiership. According to this report, Netanyahu would lead the government for the first two years, then permanently leave politics and receive a full presidential pardon for his criminal cases. Castel claimed Herzog had been advancing this idea for about two years, but no independent confirmation of such a proposal has emerged. The president's office rejects the television channel's report.
