Trump sends letter to Herzog asking him to pardon Netanyahu

President Trump has sent a letter to Israeli President Isaac Herzog, requesting a pardon for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is undergoing a corruption trial. Trump describes Netanyahu as "a formidable and decisive War Time Prime Minister" and emphasizes that he respects the Israeli justice system, calling the charges against Netanyahu "political, unjustified prosecution."

He highlights their achievements in securing peace and maintaining stability in the region. However, Herzog stated that any pardon must follow established procedures. Netanyahu faces multiple charges, and there are reports that discussions are ongoing about his wife, Sara, submitting a formal pardon request.
