Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked the president to pardon him from corruption charges. The request has sparked protests outside President Isaac Herzog’s home in Tel Aviv. The opposition has warned that a pardon would weaken democratic institutions and create a dangerous precedent. Netanyahu has been charged with fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes in three separate cases. He denies the allegations, which he describes as a witch hunt. Netanyahu is the only sitting prime minister in Israel’s history to stand trial.
