The American writer and political researcher Jason Willick explained in an article in the American newspaper (Washington Post) that if the rift that conservatives experienced in Britain recently was considered a warning to American conservatives, the developments in the recent Israeli elections and the collapse of the anti-Benjamin Netanyahu coalition could be considered a warning to American liberals. .

Willik explained that the most important event that occurred in the Israeli elections, and lessons should be drawn from it, is that any criminal accusation of a political figure - and it may be Donald Trump, for example - does not necessarily mean excluding him from the electoral race.

Netanyahu was previously indicted for corruption in 2019, after a three-year investigation.


political fate

The American writer stated that Trump may be facing the danger of legal follow-up due to the crisis of the secret official documents that he transferred to his residence, or because of the measures he took to influence the results of the 2020 elections, but all of this does not mean at all that his political fate will be resolved.

He added that Netanyahu won the elections despite his trial;

Also, former Brazilian President Lula da Silva won the last elections, knowing that he had been convicted on corruption charges before that conviction was overturned.


According to Willick, the voting process in Israel, which is experiencing a sharp political polarization, showed that the democratic process can go beyond the legal developments of a file, and he did not rule out that this would happen in the United States.

Willek revealed that it is the investigation file with Trump that leads the news, while the political case against the former US president is what should receive attention and media coverage.


Cases against Netanyahu

There are several cases filed against Netanyahu, who pleads not guilty in 3 corruption cases.

The "file 4000" launched by the investigators on one of the cases is described as the most dangerous one.

In the first case, called "Case 1000," Netanyahu and members of his family are suspected of taking bribes worth NIS 750,000 ($240,000) from Israeli Hollywood producer Arnon Milchan, and NIS 250,000 ($72,000) from Australian billionaire James Packer.

In the second case, which is called “Case 2000”, the police suspect Netanyahu of trying to reach an agreement with the owner of the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, publisher Arnon Mozes, under which the Israeli newspaper, one of the most widely spread newspapers in the Jewish state, will provide positive coverage about him.

As for the bribery case known in the media as the “4000” or “Bezeq case”, which is the largest telecommunications group in Israel, about whether he sought positive media coverage on the Walla news site, owned by Shaul Elovitch, head of the Bezeq group, in exchange for government services and facilities that earned his group hundreds of dollars. millions of dollars.
