In this week’s Passages Pulse, Sebastian and Josiah break down one of the most unexpected twists in Israeli politics: Prime Minister Netanyahu asking for a presidential pardon while still on trial.

What does that even mean?

Is it political strategy, legal chaos, or something deeper?

We unpack:

🇮🇱 How Israel’s political system works (and why it’s so different from the U.S.)

⚖️ What this pardon request actually implies for Netanyahu’s future

🏛️ The pressure on President Herzog as he decides whether to intervene

🙏 Where justice and forgiveness collide — and how Christians can think about moments like this

If you’ve been trying to make sense of the headlines, this episode connects the dots — clearly, honestly, and with a grounded Christian perspective.
