President Trump said Israeli President Isaac Herzog informed him that he plans to pardon Benjamin Netanyahu amid a long-running corruption trial.

Netanyahu said President Trump will be the first American to receive the Israel Prize, breaking with the award’s long-standing tradition.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel has a series of vexing choices to make in the year ahead on issues including Gaza, conscription and a judicial overhaul, with elections looming.

Netanyahu, Israel's first sitting prime minister to be charged with a crime, denies the charges dating back to his 2019 indictment.

Repeatedly this year, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has flown to the United States to praise President Donald Trump as Israel’s greatest champion — and to quietly press him on taking more aggressive action against Israel’s enemies.
