Trump urges Israel's president to pardon Netanyahu
- On Monday, President Donald Trump urged Israeli President Isaac Herzog during a Knesset address to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, asking `Mr. President, why don’t you give him a pardon? Give him a pardon.`
- Amid the ceasefire process, with all 20 remaining living hostages returned, Donald Trump pressed Netanyahu to accept his 20-point peace plan to end the Israel-Hamas war.
- Netanyahu is facing criminal charges that include breach of trust, bribery and fraud related to alleged gifts from wealthy figures and media deals, while the trial has featured testimony from over 140 witnesses and prosecutors rested last year.
- Using his clout in Israel, Trump pressed for a political resolution and suggested on Truth Social that failure to drop the case could end U.S. foreign aid to Israel, noting about $4 billion in military assistance.
- Longtime rivals Herzog and Netanyahu face an uncertain political moment as Isaac Herzog, President of Israel, said last month he would consider pardon requests with transparency.
