Prime Minister Netanyahu said Tuesday evening that despite the collapse of the cases against him, he still wants a pardon. The statement comes as his trial continues in the cross-examination phase.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated Tuesday evening: "Despite the collapse of the cases, I still want a pardon." The remark follows a series of recent statements in which he has framed the legal proceedings against him as a politically motivated pursuit, while his defense team continues re-cross-examination in the ongoing trial. As The Zioneer reported at 22:19, Netanyahu earlier Tuesday said the pursuit leaves scars but his sense of mission is stronger. The pardon remark — a rare explicit reference by a sitting prime minister — triggered immediate political reactions, though no formal pardon request has been filed.
