President Isaac Herzog has deferred any decision on Benjamin Netanyahu’s November 2025 pardon request, instead directing efforts toward mediation and a potential plea deal in the ongoing corruption trial. The Justice Ministry’s Pardons Department issued a March 2026 opinion questioning both the legal authority for pre-verdict clemency and its compatibility with equality before the law, while the trial advanced with Netanyahu completing testimony in June 2026 and judges reiterating concerns over the main bribery count. External calls from U.S. officials and domestic coalition pressure have not shifted Herzog’s procedural stance. Recent statements, including Naftali Bennett’s August 2026 support for a conditional pardon tied to political retirement, and October Knesset elections add political context, though no pardon has been granted and resolution timelines remain uncertain.

The primary resolution source for whether the individual is pardoned or not will be official information from the Israeli government; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.
