The US president has denounced the allegations against the Israeli leader as a “witch hunt”.
US President Donald Trump has called for an end to the corruption trial of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, days after Israel and Iran reached a ceasefire.
Trump showered his Middle Eastern ally with praise in a post on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday evening. “Bibi Netanyahu was a WARRIOR, like perhaps no other Warrior in the History of Israel,” he wrote.
He hailed Netanyahu’s leadership during Israel’s conflict with Iran and slammed the allegations against him as “politically motivated.”
“Such a WITCH HUNT, for a man who has given so much, is unthinkable to me,” the US president wrote. “Bibi Netanyahu’s trial should be CANCELLED, IMMEDIATELY, or a Pardon given to a Great Hero, who has done so much for the State.”
Netanyahu, whose trial began in 2020, denies any wrongdoing in three separate cases involving charges of corruption and influence peddling. He is Israel’s first sitting prime minister to take the stand as a criminal defendant. Under Israeli law, Netanyahu is not required to resign unless convicted by the Supreme Court.
Netanyahu has praised Trump’s support for Israel and his “historic” decision to carry out strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities on June 22. The ceasefire, which ended nearly two weeks of open hostilities between Iran and Israel, took effect on Tuesday and has so far been upheld.
Lol. 2 corrupt warmongers. Why the ceasefire if the warrior and his big bully brother were doin so well.
Maybe the rumours of Iran hacking Israel and having the blackmail material is true. Even the media seems to be giving Trump praise instead of doing their jobs and sticking his and Netanyahu illegal attacks against Iran as top story.
Weird times
Bibi is not only a vulgar criminal but also a war criminal. Like so many going ” into politics” to get immunity
Netanyahu should be charged with committing genocide against the Palestinian people.
That this tragedy should be left in the hands of two individuals ,one negotiating out personal legal issues and the other desperate to look terrific
Read this on RT. The USA is Israel’s external cheer leader.
Birds of a feather flock together
