Businessman With Ties to Netanyahu and Herzog Dies Israeli businessman Moti Sander, who had close ties to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog, has died. In 2019, Sander recorded Netanyahu promising then-Labor Party leader Avi Gabbay that he would never form a coalition with Avigdor Liberman. The discussions nearly led to a government that could have prevented Israel's second election that year. In 2026, Sander also claimed that Netanyahu and Herzog had held talks before the presidential election involving a possible pardon and plea deal. Both sides denied the allegations.
