Israeli President Isaac Herzog received a letter from US President Donald Trump, urging him to consider granting a pardon to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the president’s office said on Wednesday.
“While I absolutely respect the independence of the Israeli Justice System, and its requirements, I believe that this ‘case’ against Bibi, who has fought alongside me for a long time, including against the very tough adversary of Israel, Iran, is a political, unjustified prosecution,” the letter says.
