President Isaac Herzog has frozen further review of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s pardon request, Kan News reported on Sunday evening.

According to the report, Herzog’s decision came after Netanyahu failed to respond to his invitation to hold talks with the prosecution.

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara agreed to hold talks but was not expected to approve a pardon without an admission of guilt, something that Netanyahu has repeatedly said he will not agree to.

The cases against Netanyahu have fallen apart one by one in the courtroom, with multiple claims disproven or withdrawn.
