In recent weeks, Netanyahu has urged Israeli President Isaac Herzog to pardon him for corruption charges dating back to 2019. At the time of writing, the trial was still ongoing. The prime minister was accused of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, according to a recent report from Al Jazeera."
"Before Trump and Netanyahu's meeting at Mar-a-Lago on Monday, the two leaders took questions from the press outside. Asked about the possibility of Netanyahu receiving a pardon, Trump revealed Herzog said it was in the works. He added: 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, you know?"
Donald Trump said Israeli President Isaac Herzog told him that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will soon receive a pardon.

During a press exchange before a Mar-a-Lago meeting, Trump called Netanyahu a wartime prime minister and a hero and said a pardon would be difficult not to grant, adding that Herzog told him it was in the works.
