Trump Urges Israeli President to Pardon Netanyahu Amid Conflict and Trial

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has urged Israeli President Isaac Herzog to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, asserting Netanyahu should focus solely on Israel's conflict with Iran. Trump criticized Herzog, claiming multiple promises of a pardon. Herzog's office denied these claims, emphasizing Israel's sovereignty and rule of law, stating the pardon request is under legal review. Netanyahu, facing corruption charges, submitted his pardon request in November amid ongoing legal proceedings.
