MELBOURNE: (Dec 2) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has requested a pardon in his long-running corruption trial – a move that has set off alarm bells among his critics that he’s trying to circumvent the rule of law.
In a video message, Netanyahu says Israel’s current “security and political” situation makes it impossible for him to appear in court several times a week.
His request for a pardon from Israel’s president is just the latest twist in a case that has dragged on for years. It could have significant implications for Israel’s legal system – and Netanyahu’s political future, with elections due next year.
