The Israeli prime minister is currently facing charges for three cases of bribery, fraud and breach of trust.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sought a presidential pardon for accusations of receiving expensive gifts or positive coverage in the media from wealthy figures in exchange for political favors.

While the investigation started in 2019, Netanyahu's trial started in 2020. He has repeatedly delayed its proceedings.

Netanyahu rejects all accusations, calling them a "witch-hunt".
