US EditionTrump sends letter to Israeli president asking him to pardon Netanyahu
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump sent a letter urging President Isaac Herzog to fully pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Herzog's office publicly released the letter, reiterating Trump's Knesset plea last month.
- Netanyahu's legal troubles began in 2019 when he was indicted and his trial started in 2020; Israeli law requires a formal pardon request and usually an admission of guilt and remorse, Amir Fuchs explained, while Trump has repeatedly called the trial a 'witch hunt'.
- Trump framed the prosecution as political and unjustified, praising Netanyahu as a 'formidable and decisive War Time Prime Minister' whose focus 'cannot be unnecessarily diverted,' Trump explained.
- Herzog's office responded that any pardon must follow formal procedures despite Israel's presidency having pardon powers, while Netanyahu's allies praised the letter and opponents warned it risks undermining the rule of law.
- Observers note the move could raise questions about undue American influence in Israeli domestic politics, complicating ceasefire and hostage-return efforts amid Netanyahu's divisive trial.
