ISRAELI Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has officially asked for a pardon for President Isaac Herzog. The Israeli presidency called this action "unusual and far-reaching," and before making a decision, Herzog is expected to get advice from legal experts.
Netanyahu has been facing legal action for over five years, accused of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust in three different cases.
He has consistently denied these claims. In a video statement, he said he wants the legal process to go through to its conclusion, but national interests have led him to issue an apology.
This situation has drawn attention on the global stage, with former US President Donald Trump recently urging Israeli leaders to fully pardon Netanyahu, a remark that has caused a lot of discussion.
However, the final choice will be made by Israeli officials. Netanyahu's request has caused strong reactions in Israel, raising questions about the effect on the legal system, the responsibility of leaders, and the future political standing of the prime minister, who still has significant power in the country's political landscape.
