""I think he will," "How do you not? He's a wartime prime minister who's a hero. How do you not give a pardon?" "I spoke to the president, he tells me it's on its way," "You can't do better than that right?""
""Several weeks ago, a conversation took place between President Herzog and a representative on behalf of Trump, who inquired about the American president's letter [requesting a pardon for Netanyahu]." "He was given an explanation of the stage the request is currently at, and that a decision on the matter would be made in accordance with the established procedures.""
""lost" "The only one he has left is the president, who still likes him, but even he wants to see the Gaza deal moving faster than it is right now.""
Trump publicly urged a pardon for Netanyahu, calling him a wartime prime minister and saying a pardon is on its way. President Herzog's office denied any recent conversation with Trump about the pardon, saying a representative did inquire weeks earlier and was told the request is being processed per established procedures. Trump has compared Netanyahu's legal cases to his own pre-election prosecutions. White House aides express frustration with Netanyahu over the slow Gaza peace process, leaving Netanyahu with limited support in the administration outside of Trump, who still favors him.
