Trump letter urges Israel's president to pardon PM Netanyahu

Former United States President Donald Trump has sent a letter to Israel's president, urging him to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is currently on trial for alleged corruption. Netanyahu faces multiple charges, including accepting gifts from businessmen and offering regulatory favors in exchange for positive media coverage, but he denies all accusations and claims the trial is politically motivated. Trump praised Netanyahu's leadership during challenging times and called the prosecution unjustified, while also expressing respect for Israel's justice system. The president's office responded diplomatically, acknowledging Trump's support for Israel and noting that pardon requests must follow official procedures.
