About this episode
In this episode, we break down Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s unprecedented request for a presidential pardon before any conviction in his ongoing corruption trial and explain how he frames it as a move to restore national unity and focus on security challenges. We also explore the fierce backlash from critics, the legal complexities of a pre-trial pardon, and how this decision could reshape Israelis’ trust in their judiciary and political leadership.
