The crisis between the United States and Venezuela has shifted into turbo mode, sounding like the script of a political drama—but with canceled flights, sunken boats and escalating rhetoric.

The pardon request submitted by Benjamin Netanyahu to President Isaac Herzog has revived the central dispute of the case: how far can a sitting prime minister go to interrupt a trial that has not yet reached a verdict?
