Israeli president Isaac Herzog admitted this week that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanjah's request for pardon in the corruption process evokes crucial debates and divisions in Israeli society. Herzog said that Netanjah's formal petition to dismiss charges and the case "will be dealt with with with full care and precision" and declared that his decision would be directed solely "by the welfare of the State and Israeli society."
In Monday's statements he admitted that Netanjahu's decision "concerns many people in different sectors society and sparked a crucial debate."
However, Herzog tried to calm the increasing social anger, rejecting aggressive or heated public discussions as having "no influence" on his assessment.
Prime Minister Netanjahu formally applied to pardon Herzog on Sunday, which sparked opposition, which demanded a swift rejection by the President. Local media say Netanyahu's request immediately sparked a storm of controversy due to the fact that she was accompanied by another denial that is guilty:
As if the country was no longer struggling with adequate legal and constitutional crises, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu introduced Israel into a fresh minefield on Sunday, requesting president Isaac Herzog to pardon criminal charges in the 3 cases in which he is presently facing trial.
In a short individual letter to Herzog Netanyahu argued that Ending the trial would benefit the public, ending national divisions on his accusation.
He subsequently published a message in which he committed to smoothing out divisions in the country if his trial was stopped, But at the same time, he served the split, arguing that not only was he innocent, but that he was framed, And the indictment against him was fabricated by hostile elements in law enforcement.
In fact, he went further in denial, claiming to have been "set up" by his political opponents. So if Herzog abruptly agreed to dismiss the case, there would be outrage among the opposition and long-term anti-Netanyahu protests on the streets connected with dealing with the hostage crisis in Gas.
Times of Israelends This dilemma: "Experts claim that it is simply a gross omission by Netanjah of pleading guilty or guilty makes his motion legally uncertain, which makes him It is highly improbable that the president will grant him full abolition and invitation him to intervene in court, if that happens."
In January Netanjahu began proceeding sessions related to a series of cases – in everyone he claimed to be innocent. For review:
- The 1000 case concerns allegations that Netanyahu and his wife received luxury gifts specified as cigars and champagne, from wealthy businessmen in exchange for political favors.
- Case 2000 concerns allegations that Netanjahu was negotiating with Arnon Moss, publisher Yedioth Ahronothto get more favorable press coverage.
- Case 4000 — considered the most serious — focuses on accusations that Netanjahu has provided Shaul Elovitch with regulatory and financial benefits in exchange for affirmative treatment of the media, as well as Shaul Elovitch, with regulatory and financial benefits.
