US President Donald Trump has described the corruption trial against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a "witch hunt" and demanded that the case be dismissed.
Trump shared a message on his Truth Social account.
Arguing that he and Netanyahu have "been through hell together" and have achieved "great victories" against Iran, Trump stated that they are "fighting for the survival" of Israel.
"WITCH HUNT"
Asserting that no one in Israeli history has "fought as determinedly 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 further declared, "It was the US that saved Israel, and now it will be the US that saves Benjamin Netanyahu. This so-called disgrace of justice is unacceptable."
