Former US President Donald Trump has called for the immediate cancellation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ongoing corruption trial. Trump condemned the proceedings as a politically motivated “witch hunt,” asserting that the US would be the entity to “save” the Israeli PM. In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed shock at the trial’s continuation, particularly in light of recent Israeli actions against Iran. He praised Netanyahu as a “warrior” and credited his leadership with eliminating Iran’s near-term nuclear weapons capability. Trump dismissed the charges against Netanyahu as trivial and politically motivated, and characterized the trial as a “horror show” that should be stopped, advocating for its immediate cancellation or a pardon. He declared that the US would ensure Netanyahu’s protection.
