Trump Defends Netanyahu, Calls for cancellation of “Witch Hunt” Trial
Washington D.C. – Former President Donald Trump issued a strong statement Wednesday defending Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, denouncing his ongoing corruption trial as a “witch hunt” and calling for its immediate cancellation. The statement, posted on Trump’s social media platform, comes amidst ongoing tensions between the two leaders regarding Iran, Gaza, and other regional issues [[1]].
Trump lauded Netanyahu as a “warrior” and credited him with the “complete elimination of potentially one of the most powerful nuclear weapons in the world” following the recent twelve-day conflict between Israel and Iran, in which the U.S. participated by striking Iranian nuclear facilities. he further asserted that no other Israeli leader could have worked with a U.S. President as effectively as Netanyahu.
The former president also emphasized the United States’ role in safeguarding Israel,stating,”The United States has saved Israel [during the war with Iran] And now the United States will save Bibi Netanyahu.”
This public display of support follows reports of a strained relationship between Trump and Netanyahu, including accusations from Trump that Netanyahu “betrayed” him prior to the 2020 U.S. airstrike that killed a top Iranian general [[2]]. Despite these past disagreements, Trump’s recent statement signals a renewed alignment with the Israeli Prime Minister. The timing also coincides with a period where a U.S. strike on Iran has been linked to a potential political resurgence for Netanyahu [[3]].
