Presidential pardons in Israel have almost never been granted before conviction, with the one notable exception of a 1986 case involving the Shin Bet security service. A pre-emptive pardon of a politician in a corruption case without an admission of guilt would be precedent-setting and highly controversial.
The submission on Sunday comes weeks after Donald Trump wrote to Herzog to ask him to pardon Netanyahu, who has been on trial since 2020 on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust, involving alleged political favours for wealthy backers in return for gifts or positive media coverage.
I would argue that he is also using the war in Gaza to avoid facing these charges that have been hanging over his head for years now. You know, 'cause they are at war. He is a horrible human.
Rot in the most horrible depths of Hell, you fucking monster.
Rot in prison you vile, evil fuck.
I like how the picture was taken with a shadow under his nose.
