Benjamin Netanyahu — long condemned by human rights organizations and global observers for policies that have inflicted immense suffering on Palestinians — is now reportedly seeking forgiveness from the Israeli government for his long-standing corruption charges. The timing is as disturbing as the request itself. How can a leader accused by critics of grave violations of international law — including mass civilian deaths, the starvation and blockade of Gaza, repeated breaches of cease-fires, and escalations in Lebanon and Iran — ask for political absolution while the world still buries the dead?
Accountability cannot be selective. The same leader whose decisions helped destroy tens of thousands of Palestinian lives cannot simply step aside from legal scrutiny at home. The international community has documented a pattern of actions that many believe warrant independent investigation, not immunity.
Justice must serve the victims first — the families shattered, the children starved, the communities erased. Granting political forgiveness to a leader at the center of such profound human tragedy undermines every principle of law and morality we claim to uphold. The world must demand full, transparent accountability — not another chapter of impunity.
