Former US President Donald Trump has written to Israeli President Isaac Herzog, requesting a pardon for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is currently facing corruption and abuse of power charges. Herzog’s office confirmed receipt of the letter on November 12, noting that any pardon request must follow formal procedures. In his letter, Trump described the charges against Netanyahu as politically motivated and unjust, praising him as a long-time ally in confronting adversaries such as Iran. Netanyahu, who has denied all allegations, thanked Trump publicly on social media for his support. The Israeli leader’s trial has faced multiple delays due to the ongoing Gaza conflict, while Trump’s intervention has drawn attention to the close ties between the two politicians.
