The Israeli prime minister has requested a presidential pardon from President Isaac Herzog to halt his criminal prosecution. The request is framed by the prime minister as a means to unite the public, while critics contend it exacerbates existing divisions. Reactions across society and politics are sharply split, with potential consequences for judicial independence, rule of law, and public trust in institutions. The pardon could set a precedent for impunity, intensify protests and polarization, create a legitimacy crisis for the government, and affect Israel's domestic stability and international reputation over the long term.
