Benjamin Netanyahu has requested President of Israel, Isaac Herzog, a pardon for the corruption charges, including bribery and fraud, arguing that it would be in the public interest. The request, which was sent last week, has been acknowledged by Herzog's office and will be evaluated by the pardons department of the Ministry of Justice. Netanyahu, who has been on trial since 2020, denies the charges, considering them a "witch hunt." He stated that the continuation of the trial deepens divisions in society and that a swift resolution would promote national unity. His critics suggest that he might use the conflict in Gaza to maintain his position, while the opposition leader stated that only those guilty ask for forgiveness. This request could generate a political and constitutional crisis in Israel.
