Israeli President Isaac Herzog stated that he will only consider the "well-being of the state and society" in his decision regarding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's request for clemency, who is involved in a corruption trial. Herzog emphasized that this matter will be treated rigorously, after Netanyahu appeared in court for the first time since the clemency request. The Prime Minister's request was supported by Donald Trump, but it has drawn criticism from the opposition, which believes that clemency should be conditioned on Netanyahu's withdrawal from politics and acknowledgment of guilt. Additionally, some politicians have called for the Prime Minister to call national elections before requesting clemency.
