Trump Demands Cancelation Of 'Hero' Netanyahu's Graft Trial: 'US Saved Israel, Now It's Going To Save Bibi'

US President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu appear to be closer than ever, with Trump recently intervening in Israel's judicial system on Netanyahu's behalf. Trump issued a statement on Truth Social, calling the corruption trial against Netanyahu a "ridiculous Witch Hunt" and claiming it's "politically motivated." The trial, which began in 2020, focuses on three corruption cases, including charges of fraud, breach of trust, and bribery. Trump praised Netanyahu's leadership during the recent war with Iran, calling him a "WARRIOR" who fought for Israel's survival. Trump claimed that Netanyahu's trial should be cancelled or that he should be pardoned, sparking alarm in Israel due to the country's reliance on US foreign aid and military assistance. Many fear that Trump's direct pressure could influence judicial decision makers and compromise their impartiality. The trial's resumption was paused due to the judiciary operating in emergency mode during the war with Iran. Netanyahu's political opposition is likely to be uneasy about Trump's intervention, which could be seen as an attempt to sway the outcome of the trial. Trump's statement has caused concern in Israel, with some worrying that it could undermine the country's judicial system. The incident highlights the close relationship between Trump and Netanyahu, who have partnered in war and now appear to be supporting each other in legal cases.
