Trump Urges Netanyahu Pardon Amid Call for Israel's Left-Wing 'Democracy' Purge

President Donald Trump has called for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's pardon from his pending fraud and bribery charges, following the swift removal of left-wing lawmakers by security forces during his address to the Israeli parliament on Monday. Trump hailed the move as a 'big league success'. The Israeli government had already announced plans to advance Netanyahu's pardon before Trump's visit. Netanyahu faces 13 counts of corruption, including bribery and fraud.
