Sorry, not sorry: Netanyahu demands a pardon
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is asking for a pardon over a range of corruption charges laid against him after repeatedly telling Israeli journalists that he would clear his name in court. The prime minister has long described the case against him as a witch-hunt led by the media and the judiciary. If he succeeds in sidestepping the courts, Israeli journalists and judges will wonder what he might have in store for them."
"This week, former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton insisted Israel's PR problems have more to do with TikTok than with the genocide Israeli forces have inflicted on Gaza. Ryan Kohls looks at a persistent myth still making the rounds in American political circles. Kim Ou-Joon is part journalist, part activist, part political performer. An outspoken and sometimes controversial voice who leans to the left ideologically, Kim leads South Korea's biggest YouTube-based news network, primarily through a political podcast."
Benjamin Netanyahu is requesting a pardon for multiple corruption charges after repeatedly asserting he would clear his name in court. He characterizes the case as a media- and judiciary-led witch-hunt, and avoiding trials could alarm journalists and judges about future repercussions. Hillary Clinton asserted that Israel's PR problems are more about TikTok than about the genocide attributed to Israeli forces in Gaza. A persistent myth continues to circulate in American political circles. Kim Ou-Joon combines journalism, activism and political performance, leading South Korea's largest YouTube-based news network through a political podcast and offering outspoken left-leaning perspectives on media and politics.
