Trump explodes over Netanyahu trial and demands Israel cancel 'ridiculous witch hunt' now
Donald Trump took to his social media site to share his thoughts on Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial set to resume on Monday.
Donald Trump spent his way home from the NATO summit posting on Truth Social, defending Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
President Trump wrote that Israel’s justice system should drop its corruption case against the Prime Minister, calling it a “witch hunt” and often referring to him by his nickname “Bibi”.
Trump said the trial should be “CANCELLED, IMMEDIATELY” or a pardon should be given to Netanyahu, whom he calls a “great hero”. It comes as new Trump health fears erupted following a disturbing Air Force One video.

In his post on Truth Social, Trump labeled the announcement as “breaking news”.
“BREAKING NEWS…I was shocked to hear that the State of Israel, which has just had one of its Greatest Moments in History, and is strongly led by Bibi Netanyahu, is continuing its ridiculous Witch Hunt against their Great War Time Prime Minister! Bibi and I just went through HELL together, fighting a very tough and brilliant longtime enemy of Israel, Iran, and Bibi could not have been better, sharper, or stronger in his LOVE for the incredible Holy Land,” Trump wrote.

BREAKING NEWS…I was shocked to hear that the State of Israel, which has just had one of its Greatest Moments in History, and is strongly led by Bibi Netanyahu, is continuing its ridiculous Witch Hunt against their Great War…
Trump then said that Netanyahu was a “warrior” who fought for Israel’s survival.
“Anybody else would have suffered losses, embarrassment, and chaos! Bibi Netanyahu was a WARRIOR, like perhaps no other Warrior in the History of Israel, and the result was something that nobody thought was possible, a complete elimination of potentially one of the biggest and most powerful Nuclear Weapons anywhere in the World, and it was going to happen, SOON! We were fighting, literally, for the Survival of Israel, and there is nobody in Israel’s History that fought harder or more competently than Bibi Netanyahu,” he wrote.
After praising the prime minister, Trump switched his focus to the corruption trial that is set to resume on Monday.
“Despite all of this, I just learned that Bibi has been summoned to Court on Monday for the continuation of this long running, (He has been going through this “Horror Show” since May of 2020 – Unheard of! This is the first time a sitting Israeli Prime Minister has ever been on trial.), politically motivated case, “concerning cigars, a Bugs Bunny doll, and numerous other unfair charges” in order to do him great harm. Such a WITCH HUNT, for a man who has given so much, is unthinkable to me,” Trump wrote.

Trump continued on, saying the trial should be “cancelled” as soon as possible or a pardon should be given to Netanyahu, whom he called a “great hero”, saying that the two worked in “harmony” against Iran.
“He deserves much better than this, and so does the State of Israel. Bibi Netanyahu’s trial should be CANCELLED, IMMEDIATELY, or a Pardon given to a Great Hero, who has done so much for the State. Perhaps there is no one that I know who could have worked in better harmony with the President of the United States, ME, than Bibi Netanyahu.”
Trump finished his post by saying that America saved Israel by bombing Iran on Saturday, and it will be America that saves Netanyahu.
“It was the United States of America that saved Israel, and now it is going to be the United States of America that saves Bibi Netanyahu. THIS TRAVESTY OF “JUSTICE” CAN NOT BE ALLOWED!”, he concluded.
