Gali Baharav-Miara, Israel's Attorney General, stated that she has yet to examine the pardon request submitted by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to President Isaac Herzog. In her announcement, she clarified that the request will be evaluated following the usual operational protocols. Currently, the request is under scrutiny by the Criminal Division of the State Prosecutor's Office, which will provide an opinion to the Pardon Department in the Justice Ministry to formulate its stance.

As discussions around the pardon evolve, it is possible that President Herzog and Netanyahu will negotiate terms that may lead to a revised version of the pardon request. This revised request might include the Prime Minister's acknowledgment of responsibility or entail other concessions. Such negotiations could potentially impact the public's perception of Netanyahu, particularly given the legal challenges he faces.

The implications of this situation are significant as it not only concerns the legal proceedings against Netanyahu but also touches upon broader issues such as the rule of law and accountability in Israeli politics. Whether or not the pardon is granted may influence public trust in governmental institutions and set precedents for future cases involving high-ranking officials in Israel.
