The ongoing criminal cases against the Israeli prime minister are "a bleeding wound in the body of Israeli society," states the letter, initiated by Environmental Protection Minister Idit Silman.
Likud Cabinet and deputy ministers have signed a letter calling on Israeli President Isaac Herzog to pardon Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in connection to his ongoing criminal trial.
The letter, dated Oct. 19, was initiated by Environmental Protection Minister Idit Silman, who posted it on X.
“Unfortunately, today it is already clear to everyone that as long as his trial is underway, which is like a bleeding wound in the body of Israeli society, there will be no unity in Israel,” the letter states.
