After US President Donald Trump criticized him for not pardoning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
By Sammy,
After US President Donald Trump criticized him for not pardoning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli President Isaac Herzog is reportedly seeking answers from the prime minister. Trump described Herzog as "disgraceful" and said he should be "ashamed of himself." The remarks followed Netanyahu's White House visit, raising questions about whether the issue of a pardon was discussed during their meeting.
A source close to Herzog told Channel 12 that if Netanyahu played a role in prompting Trump's comments, "it is a red line that has been crossed. We expect clarification from the prime minister." The source added that Herzog was caught off guard and views the statement as significant, citing potential implications for Israel's sovereign status. Herzog is now working to clarify the situation and understand the extent of Netanyahu's involvement.
