A series of rabbis from religious Zionism sent a letter to President Reuven Rivlin, following what they define as "an unprecedented and dangerous political and legal crisis."
In a letter, the contents of which were published today (Tuesday) in News 13, the rabbis wrote to the president, "This crisis threatens the ability of the political system to address the difficult challenges facing the State of Israel today."
The rabbis call on the president to offer Netanyahu a pardon deal for retirement, "We urge you to offer the Prime Minister a full pardon, while at the same time retiring from office."
"Such a move, which does not include guilt or acquittal, seems to us the only way out of the strait we are in," the rabbis noted in their letter.
