Even a Netanyahu pardon could still face Supreme Court scrutiny

A legal analysis published on the article page says that even if a pardon is granted to Benjamin Netanyahu, it is not certain the High Court of Justice would uphold it. The piece is framed around the legal and political implications of any future clemency for the prime minister, rather than around a specific decision already taken.

The rest of the page is a mix of unrelated headlines and opinion items, including Donald Trump saying a deal with Iran will be signed soon after speaking with Netanyahu, SpaceX raising $75 billion at a valuation of $1.77 trillion, a News 12 poll on Benny Gantz and Naftali Bennett, Mexico beating South Africa 2-0 in the World Cup opener, and Slovenia announcing it will lift sanctions on Israel after a change of government. No date for a pardon decision is given, and no next step is specified beyond the warning that any pardon could be challenged in court.
