Israel President Says Netanyahu Pardon Must Follow Israeli Law After Donald Trump Demand

Israeli President Isaac Herzog has responded to US President Donald Trump’s call to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying that “everything is on the table” but any decision must strictly follow Israeli law. Speaking in an interview with Fox News, Herzog said he would consider the matter seriously but must wait for recommendations from relevant legal authorities. Netanyahu, the only sitting Israeli prime minister to stand trial, faces charges of fraud, breach of trust and bribery in multiple cases, allegations he denies, describing the investigation as a politically motivated “witch hunt.”
