00:00Angry crowds gathered outside President Isaac Herzog's home in Tel Aviv on Sunday,
00:05protesting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's request for a full pardon from corruption charges.
00:10The protest under the slogan Pardon equals Banana Republic featured demonstrators with props,
00:16including one dressed as Netanyahu in an orange jumpsuit. Netanyahu, currently on trial for
00:21bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, has not admitted guilt. Critics say his request threatens
00:27democracy and accountability. Activists are calling on President Herzog to reject the pardon
00:32and protect the rule of law.
