Trump Steps Up Push for Israel President to Pardon Netanyahu

US President Donald Trump stepped up his push for Israel’s president to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who’s facing charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust.

President Isaac Herzog “should be ashamed of himself” for not granting a pardon, Trump told reporters on Thursday. “He doesn’t want to do it because I guess he loses his power. I think the people of Israel should really shame him. He’s disgraceful.”
