Netanyahu, Facing Legal Troubles, Seeks Pardon from Israeli President
The office of Israeli President Isaac Herzog confirmed on the 30th that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally submitted a request for a presidential pardon in hopes of ending the years-long corruption proceedings against him. Netanyahu denies all charges and has entered a plea of not guilty.
According to reports, former U.S. President Donald Trump previously sent a letter to Herzog urging him to grant Netanyahu a pardon.
Herzog’s office stated that this “unusual and far-reaching” request is now under review, and the president will make a decision “responsibly and honestly” after gathering input from all sides. As for requests for comment, Netanyahu’s office has yet to respond.
