Jerusalem (HRNW)– Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has appealed to President Isaac Herzog for a pardon as corruption cases continue to tighten around him. According to an international news agency, Netanyahu argued that ending the cases and granting him a pardon is in the “best interest of the country.”
Netanyahu, while highlighting the operations against Hamas and Hezbollah as his major achievements, requested immunity from ongoing corruption trials. He stated that the country is facing serious challenges and that national unity requires him to work without legal distractions. He added that these cases consume time and slow down matters of national importance.
President Herzog responded to the request, saying that he will consider Netanyahu’s plea solely on the basis of the interests of the state and Israeli society. He emphasized that no aggressive statements or political pressure will influence his decision.
The president also acknowledged widespread public concern and intense debate surrounding the pardon request. Inviting citizens to share their views on the presidential website, he assured that all discussions and criticisms will be welcomed with respect and dignity.
