Netanyahu’s Pardon Request

Posted by on Dec 3, 2025 in In the press

 

In Israel, it is possible to request a presidential pardon without admitting guilt, a unique feature of the legal system. Dr Debborah Abitbol, an expert in international law, analyzed Netanyahu’s recent 14-page pardon request, noting its strategic timing amid social and security tensions. The request emphasizes a degree of personal responsibility while highlighting procedural irregularities, including questionable evidence and pressures on journalists and lawyers. The Israeli system even allows a pardon before any conviction, prioritizing public interest over personal interest, reflecting the complex balance between law, politics, and strategy.
