Fetterman Writes Letter Asking Israel's President to Pardon Netanyahu
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) prepared a letter in recent days asking Israel’s president for a favor.
In a previously unreported letter obtained by TPM, Fetterman asked Israel’s President Isaac Herzog to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“In a world this dangerous, I question whether any democracy can afford to have its head of government spending valuable hours, day after day, in a courtroom rather than the situation room,” Fetterman wrote in a copy of the letter, dated Dec. 2, obtained by TPM.
Netanyahu formally asked Herzog for a pardon late last month.
Fetterman, expressing surprise that TPM had a copy of the letter, stood by it in a brief Thursday interview.
