'Israeli' President Isaac Herzog has received a letter from US President Donald Trump urging him to consider granting a pardon to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Herzog's office confirmed Wednesday.

Trump’s request comes as Netanyahu faces a long-running corruption trial, in which he denies all charges and has pleaded not guilty.

In the letter, Trump wrote, “While I absolutely respect the independence of the Israeli Justice System, and its requirements, I believe that this ‘case’ against Bibi, who has fought alongside me for a long time, including against the very tough adversary of Israel, Iran, is a political, unjustified prosecution.”
