Knesset Speaker Urges President to Pardon Netanyahu

Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana urged President Yitzhak Herzog to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, citing testimony from former legal advisor Avichai Mandelblit. Ohana argued that Mandelblit's testimony revealed "illegal investigative actions" and irregularities in the charges against Netanyahu. The Speaker believes these issues warrant a presidential decision on the pardon request. This comes after President Herzog previously called on Netanyahu to consider a plea deal.
