Israeli President Denies Trump's Claim About Netanyahu Pardon

Donald Trump stated that Israeli President Isaac Herzog told him a pardon for Benjamin Netanyahu was "forthcoming," describing him as a "war hero." However, Herzog's office swiftly denied the claim, stating that he has not spoken with Trump since the pardon request was submitted weeks ago. Trump's statement was made while in Florida alongside Netanyahu, immediately sparking reactions and doubts. The denial from the Israeli President's office highlights the inconsistency in the two leaders' statements and raises questions about the accuracy of the information being circulated.
