Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday asked the country’s president to grant him a pardon from corruption charges,
seeking to end a long-running trial that has bitterly divided the nation.
Netanyahu is the only sitting prime minister in Israeli history to stand trial,
after being charged with fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes in three separate cases
accusing him of exchanging favors with wealthy political supporters.
He hasn’t been convicted of anything.

I'm not sure how pardons work in Israel, but a #US lawyer once ecplained, that you had to admit your guilt to qualify for a pardon...
Well done, Mr. #Netanyahu...
