President Isaac Herzog indicates that he could grant Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a pardon in his corruption trial, saying the “case weighs heavily on Israeli society.
“The Netanyahu case weighs heavily on Israeli society. If there is a request or any process, I will divulge this to the public with full transparency,” Herzog tells Army Radio. “I will consider what’s best for the state and all other considerations.”
Netanyahu is on trial in three corruption cases. He faces charges of fraud and breach of trust in Case 1000 and Case 2000, and charges of bribery as well as fraud and breach of trust in Case 4000. He denies any wrongdoing and claims that all the charges were fabricated in a political coup led by the police and state prosecution.
