Israel’s Netanyahu seeks pardon to end corruption trial • FRANCE 24 English

Описание: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked the country’s president on Sunday for a pardon in his long-running corruption trial, arguing that the criminal proceedings were hindering his ability to govern and that a pardon would be good for Israel. Under Israeli law, however, the president does not have the power to pardon someone who is not a convicted criminal, FRANCE 24’s Noga Tarnopolsky said, noting that no verdict has yet been rendered on Netanyahu, who is actively seeking to prevent his trial from reaching its conclusion.
