Scoop: Netanyahu asked Trump for more help in pardon push
""political lawfare""
""Netanyahu wants Trump to do more, but the president has done all he can do,""
""a better partner""
""they are armed and dangerous,""
Trump sent a letter to President Isaac Herzog calling the charges against Netanyahu "political lawfare" and urging a pardon. Netanyahu formally requested a pardon from Herzog to concentrate on national security and regional peace agreements. Herzog will await necessary legal opinions, a process that could take about two months. Netanyahu asked Trump to continue supporting the pardon effort during their call. Trump said he thought the pardon would likely work but did not commit to additional steps. Trump also urged Netanyahu to be a better partner on Gaza, questioned tactics against trapped militants, and urged caution regarding Syria.
