Israeli President Isaac Herzog has turned down U.S. President Donald Trump’s request to pardon Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been facing corruption cases for the past five years.
Trump wrote a letter to the Israeli president, calling the charges against Netanyahu unfair and political. He asked that Netanyahu be pardoned.
President Herzog rejected the request, saying Israel is a sovereign country and its legal system must be respected. He said it was an unusual request and that the interests of the Israeli people come first.
Netanyahu will continue to face the corruption cases already underway.
