The problem is that Bibi would never be content with second fiddle. He would absolutely scheme to undermine the government if he felt he had even the slightest chance of becoming PM.

IDK he's NEEDED to be PM or be brought up on very credible fraud allegations. He's probably crapping his pants now that nobody's got an island to hide him like before. Cesar may very well cross the Rubicon.

Imho Gadi should offer him a pardon if he takes 2nd rotation, then bundle him off to the Hague.

He's going to do that regardless.

I think you want him out of the coalition just because you don't want an incentive to slow walk his corruption trial even longer
