Netanyahu’s Extortion-by-coronavirus Is by Far His Most Shameful and Least Forgivable Offense
Netanyahu is using the public’s justified fears of coronavirus to extort his rival Benny Gantz – and all of Israel, in essence – to allow him to continue his prison-break efforts in a new national unity government, which he, and only he, will head. Or face the consequences.
Netanyahu is already showing Gantz and the entire center-left what a steep price they will pay if they do not accede to his demands: They will be defamed and vilified as borderline traitors and they will be blamed for whatever toll the coronavirus takes, as only Netanyahu knows how. In other words, a criminal defendant is blackmailing the country to spring him from jail, threatening not only fire and brimstone, but also shame and calumny if they refuse. In many countries, that would be a crime in and of itself.
Whatever his shortcomings, Netanyahu could very well be the most competent politician around to deal with the challenges of the corona pandemic. Most Israelis, including many of his fiercest critics, would grudgingly agree to him continuing to serve as prime minister, as long as he does not exploit his position to advance his personal legal agenda. That, however, is a bridge too far for Netanyahu: With all due respect to his country, his own freedom comes first.
While Netanyahu has been waxing almost hysterical about the need to unite in the face of the coronavirus, he has refused to yield an inch on any issue that might influence his criminal proceedings. Fighting coronavirus is critical, perhaps, but cannot compare in Bibi’s book to keeping on his proxy Justice Minister Amir Ohana, who has repeatedly shown his willingness to subvert the law to please his master.

>Queen Elizabeth’s Grandson and His Wife Just Split Up After 12 Years of Marriage
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10935833/peter-phillips-splits-wife-autumn-kelly-queen/
Her Majesty is believed to be “upset” after Autumn, 41, told Princess Anne’s son, 42, she wants to split after 12 years of marriage.
A pal of Peter Phillips said: “He is devastated.”
It comes amid fears the mum of two wants to follow Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to her native Canada.
Close friends are suggesting that Megxit – Prince Harry and Meghan’s departure from the UK to Canada – could have hastened Autumn’s shock decision.
Sports marketing consultant Peter, 42, and Autumn, 41, who is a management consultant, have two children – Savannah, nine and Isla, seven.
It is believed the daughters have dual Canadian citizenship which means they could easily live in Canada if Autumn were to return there.
One pal revealed: “Peter is absolutely devastated by this and just didn’t see it coming.
“He thought he was happily married and had the perfect family with two lovely daughters. But he is now in total shock.
“Autumn is a wonderful wife and mother and a very intelligent woman but she’s been telling her friends for some time that there were issues.
“She is a favourite of the Queen and I’m sure Her Majesty will be very upset by this as well.
“It’s the last thing she needs after all her recent troubles and you get the feeling that the Royal Family is falling apart a little bit.”

PG&E Will Plead Guilty to Involuntary Manslaughter in Camp Fire
Pacific Gas & Electric, California’s largest utility, said Monday that it had agreed to plead guilty to involuntary manslaughter in connection with the Camp Fire, the state’s deadliest wildfire.
California regulators determined last year that PG&E’s equipment caused the fire, which in 2018 engulfed the town of Paradise and led to the deaths of 85 people.
Facing tens of billions of dollars in wildfire claims, PG&E has been in bankruptcy reorganization since early last year. The company is racing to emerge from bankruptcy by June so that it can qualify for inclusion in a new state wildfire fund that could cover the costs of future fires.
The plea agreement, struck with the district attorney in the county where the Camp Fire occurred, followed the announcement on Friday that Gov. Gavin Newsom was willing to approve PG&E’s plan to emerge from bankruptcy. Under the plan, victims of the wildfires have agreed to a payment of $13.5 billion.
“Today’s charges underscore the reality of all that was lost," Bill Johnson, PG&E’s chief executive, said in a statement, “and we hope that accepting those charges helps bring more certainty to the path forward so we can get victims paid fairly and quickly.”
The plea agreement, announced in a securities filing, said PG&E had accepted a maximum penalty of $3.5 million and “no other or additional sentence will be imposed on the utility in the criminal action in connection with the 2018 Camp Fire.” The agreement must be approved by a state court and the bankruptcy court.
The Camp Fire started after a hook holding a PG&E transmission line broke from a nearly 100-year-old tower near Paradise. The company repeatedly failed to maintain that line even though it cut through a forested and mountainous area known to experience strong winds, the California Public Utilities Commission concluded in a report last year.
Victims of the Camp Fire could in theory use PG&E’s guilty plea to bolster their claims against the company. The agreement says that the state would not oppose any effort by PG&E to try to settle those claims as part of its bankruptcy.
But Karen Gowins, who lost her home in the Camp Fire, criticized the plea agreement on Monday and said that the company may never be fully held to account for its repeated failings.
“I don’t see this as a win for the victims no matter which way it all goes,” Ms. Gowins, who is a member of a committee that represents wildfire victims in PG&E’s bankruptcy case. “Basically, they’re just going to slap them on the hand. I keep saying, ‘Only the Lord can open a door now.’”
Ms. Gowins fears that people like her will ultimately receive little from the utility for their losses. Half of the $13.5 billion settlement that PG&E reached with wildfire victims will be in the form of company stock, which has fallen sharply since mid-February when stock markets began tumbling because of the expanding coronavirus outbreak.
“I’m just not sure how Paradise is going to be able to stand back up on its feet,” she said.
The guilty plea could also affect how a federal court decides whether the utility is in compliance with its probation for a 2010 gas pipeline explosion in San Bruno, a town south of San Francisco. PG&E was convicted of six felonies for violating a pipeline safety law and obstructing an investigation. The judge overseeing that case, William H. Alsup, has been highly critical of PG&E’s safety record and last year ordered its board of directors to visit Paradise to see first hand the destruction the company’s equipment had caused.
The company’s stock was up about 8 percent, to $7.84, on Monday afternoon but still far from the nearly $18 it hit a month ago.
PG&E sought bankruptcy protection early last year — its second Chapter 11 filing in two decades — with $30 billion in liabilities related to wildfires ignited by the utility’s poorly maintained electrical system.
Under an agreement with Mr. Newsom announced on Friday, the utility pledged billions of dollars to help wildfire victims, improve safety and make other changes.
As part of that deal, PG&E will not pay dividends to shareholders for three years. The agreement should allow the utility to exit bankruptcy by June 30, a state-mandated deadline for it to take part in the fund that is designed to help utilities pay the claims from future wildfires.
A federal judge’s approval is still needed for the company’s bankruptcy plan.
