 Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Israeli President Isaac Herzog held talks over the past few weeks regarding pardoning or commuting the sentences of Jewish security prisoners in light of the hostage deal, which saw the release of hundreds of Palestinian Arab terrorists.

Yedioth Aharonoth reported that Levin presented an official request to Herzog that he consider pardoning or commuting the sentence of approximately six Jewish prisoners who were convicted of severe nationalist crimes.
