"Dear Mr. President Isaac Herzog,

It is my honor to write to you at this historic time, as we have, together, just secured peace that has been sought for at least 3,000 years. I hereby thank you, and all Israelis, again for your gracious and warm hospitality, and am addresses a key topic of my speech at the Knesset.

As the Great State of Israel and the amazing Jewish People move past the terribly difficult times of the last three years, I hereby call on you to fully pardon Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been a formidable and decisive War Time Prime Minister, and is now leading Israel into a time of peace, which includes my continued work with key Middle East leaders to add many additional countries to the world changing Abraham Accords.

Prime Minister Netanyahu has stood tall for Israel in the face of strong adversaries and long odds, and his attention cannot be unnecessarily diverted.

While I absolutely respect the independence of the Israeli Justice System and its requirements, I believe that this "case" against Bibi, who has fought alongside me for a longtime, including against the very tough adversary of Israel, Iran, is a political, unjustified prosecution.

Isaac, we have established a great relationship, one that I am very thankful for and honored by, and we agreed as soon as I was inaugurated in January that the focus has to be cantered on finally bringing the hostages home and getting the peace agreement done.

Now that we have achieved these unprecedented successes, and are keeping Hamas in check, it is time to let Bibi unite Israel by pardoning him, and ending the lawfare once and for all.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
Donald J. Trump
President of the United States of America."
