Trump Urges Israeli Pardon for Netanyahu in Corruption Case

President Trump officially requested Israeli President Isaac Herzog to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, claiming the corruption charges are politically motivated. The request highlights Trump's ongoing involvement in Israel's judicial affairs and his support for Netanyahu amid his trial for bribery, fraud, and breach of trust. Israeli law requires formal procedures for pardons, and Herzog's office emphasized adherence to established legal processes. Trump’s intervention reflects his view of Netanyahu’s trial as an injustice similar to his own legal challenges.
