Presidential Pardons

One of the President’s most important roles is his legal power to pardon offenders and modify their sentences by reducing or commuting them. The President reaches a decision regarding a pardon based on the necessary information and opinions, including those of the minister of justice or the minister of defense. Israeli presidential history shows that the institution of clemency also reflects each president’s vision and values, which influence his decision on whether or not to grant a pardon.
