During a highly charged address to the Israeli Knesset, former President Trump urged Israeli President Isaac Herzog to pardon Benjamin Netanyahu, citing the need for healing and unity in a region marked by conflict. His call for amnesty for Netanyahu, who faces corruption charges, came as he received a standing ovation from many lawmakers while simultaneously being interrupted by protesters and political opponents. Trump expressed that he was unexpectedly moved to make the pardon request after hearing a strong applause from the audience. The atmosphere became chaotic at times, with protesters disrupting his speech and lawmakers being ejected for attempting to interrupt. Trump also took the opportunity to criticize past U.S. administrations and encouraged Israeli leaders to embrace peace and set aside old grievances. His remarks reflected a mix of partisan jabs and calls for a new era in Middle Eastern relations.
