Trump urges Israel to pardon Netanyahu over corruption charges

Netanyahu pardon news

U.S. President Donald Trump has formally called on Israeli President Isaac Herzog to grant a full pardon to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust in three ongoing cases.

In a letter released by Herzog’s office, Trump said the prosecution against Netanyahu was “politically motivated” and unjust, praising the Israeli leader as a longtime ally in confronting Iran.

Herzog’s office responded that a pardon could only be requested by Netanyahu or his representatives and cannot be granted while the trial is underway.

Netanyahu, indicted in 2019, has denied all wrongdoing, and his trial—which began in 2020—has been repeatedly delayed.

  1. What is in those Epstein files?
    Enough to make Kash Patel head of the FBI
    And Dan Bongino Deputy
    Two of the most ardent vociferous critics beforehand in that the Epstein Files not having been released and made public
    One way to shut people up

    • A bit like J Edgar Hoover and His lover Clyde Tolson who he made Deputy FBI Director
      Myer Lansky had dirt on Hoover (Like everybody else which is why he survived so many Presidents)
      Who had been caught and photographed in an ‘uncompromising’ position with His lover Tolsen
      Which is why the Mafia did not officially ‘exist’ for quite a good number of years
      The FBI
      Bent from the beginning

    • People are inclined to say anything and even believe anything if their livelihood depends on it.
      The flipflops of Trump appointees from MAGA to MIGA are testament to this.
      Expect more of the same.
      The key to understanding Trump is to imagine his words are being spoken by a New York Jewish gangster. Perfect fit!
