Trump Calls for Netanyahu's Pardon to Focus on War Against Iran

US President Donald Trump has made an important statement about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He said that Israeli President Isaac Herzog should immediately pardon Netanyahu so that he can fully focus on the ongoing war against Iran. Trump made this statement in a phone interview with the American media outlet Axios. He said that he talks to Netanyahu almost every day and discusses the war. He wants Netanyahu to focus only on the fight against Iran and not be pressured by the ongoing court case. Netanyahu has been on trial on several corruption charges since 2020. He is accused of accepting expensive gifts from several billionaires, including cigars, champagne, jewelry, and other valuables. It is alleged that he gave political favors to these individuals in exchange for these gifts. Trump has called these allegations a political conspiracy, and has argued that the prime minister should pardon Netanyahu five times in the past, but President Trump has said that he would pardon Netanyahu five times.
