Israel President Issac Herzog has received a letter from U.S. President Donald Trump formally urging him to "fully pardon" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu has been standing trial for the past five years on charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust in connection with three cases.
In the letter, Trump writes that he "absolutely" respects the independence of Israel's justice system, but that he believes Netanyahu is facing "a political, unjustified prosecution."
Netanyahu is the first serving Israeli prime minister to stand trial. He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges and branded the trial as a "witch-hunt" by political opponents.
