Trump Demands Immediate Halt to Netanyahu Trial, Declares US Will Intervene

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.
