Trump shared a message on his Truth Social account.
Arguing that he and Netanyahu have "been through hell together" and achieved great victories against Israel's arch-enemy Iran, Trump stated that they are fighting for the "survival" of Israel.
Asserting that no one in Israeli history has "fought as hard as Netanyahu," Trump characterized the summons for Netanyahu to appear in court on Monday as a "witch hunt."
Claiming that Netanyahu deserves "much better" and using words of praise for the Israeli Prime Minister, Trump stated, "Benjamin Netanyahu’s case should be dismissed immediately, or a pardon should be granted to a great hero who has done so much for the state."
Trump also noted that no one could work as well with him as Netanyahu, declaring, "It was the U.S. that saved Israel, and now it will be the U.S. that saves Benjamin Netanyahu. This so-called miscarriage of justice is unacceptable!"
