Israel’s Justice Ministry’s Pardon Department has reportedly declined to recommend granting a pardon to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his ongoing corruption case. The ministry confirmed on Wednesday that the department had prepared its legal opinion and sent it to Heritage Minister Eliyahu, who was assigned by Justice Minister Yariv Levin to oversee the administrative process. The report will next be forwarded to President Isaac Herzog, who will make the final decision on whether to grant the pardon.
According to The Times of Israel, Netanyahu’s application did not meet the legal requirements for a pardon because his trial is still ongoing and no conviction has been reached. He also did not admit guilt or express remorse in his application. Israel’s Supreme Court had previously ruled that pardons could be granted before conviction only if the accused admitted to the charges.
The report also noted that U.S. President Donald Trump was pressuring President Herzog to pardon Netanyahu, but Herzog stated he would decide independently. Netanyahu’s trial, involving charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, has been underway since 2020.
