Netanyahu seeks pardon in corruption case. Herzog to consider
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, has applied for a pardon from President Isaac Herzog. This request arrives during Netanyahu's corruption trial, where he faces charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust stemming from three cases since 2019. Donald Trump, former US President, reportedly urged Herzog to pardon Netanyahu. Herzog's office stated that the president will carefully consider this unusual request, which has significant implications. Netanyahu is the first sitting Israeli PM to be tried.
