Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today, Sunday, formally requested a pardon from Israeli President Isaac Herzog, in the cases he is pursuing in the courts.
At the beginning of November, Herzog received a letter from US President Donald Trump, in which he called for consideration of granting a pardon to Netanyahu. Trump demanded the Israeli President pardon Netanyahu in his speech before the Knesset last month, on the day the twenty hostages were released alive. In response to Trump's letter, the Israeli President said that "whoever wants to be pardoned must submit a formal request as is customary in Israel."
