Netanyahu Requests Presidential Pardon Following Trump’s Involvement
The reported request follows claims that U.S. President Donald Trump personally urged Israeli President Isaac Herzog to grant a pardon to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The plea reportedly came only weeks after Trump’s own request was conveyed to Israeli officials, aiming to influence the outcome of Netanyahu’s ongoing legal troubles.
Background
Netanyahu has faced long-running corruption charges that have divided Israeli politics. Trump, maintaining a close relationship with Netanyahu since his presidency, has previously shown support for the Israeli leader in both public statements and private discussions.
“President Trump personally asked President Herzog to consider a pardon for Benjamin Netanyahu,” an unnamed source reportedly told local media.
Political observers suggest this move could reflect continuing cross-national political coordination between the two conservative figures.
Public Reaction
The potential pardon request has sparked mixed reactions in Israel, with critics calling it an intervention in judicial matters, while supporters see it as an effort to end what they view as politically motivated charges.
Author summary: Reports indicate that Netanyahu sought a pardon from Israel’s president following encouragement from Donald Trump, adding a new layer to Israel’s ongoing political and judicial tensions.
