President Trump said on Thursday that Israeli President Isaac Herzog must pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "today", calling Herzog "a disgrace" for failing to act over the last year.

Axar.az reports, citing an exclusive report from Axios, That US President Trump said in a phone interview: "Every day I talk to Bibi about the war. I want him to focus on the war and not on the f*cking court case. I want the only pressure on Bibi to be the fighting against Iran."

Trump has been pushing for a Netanyahu pardon since last June, arguing that his trial on corruption charges - ongoing since 2020 - is a "witch hunt" akin to the U.S. president's own legal troubles.

Trump claimed Herzog promised him five times over the past year that he would grant the pardon and never followed through.

"He told me he would give it to him. But he has held it over Bibi's head for a year."

Herzog told Trump advisers Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff and U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee that he would consider the request in line with legal procedures, the official said.
