Trump calls for Israeli PM's trial to be canceled
ISRAEL, JUN 26 – Trump calls Netanyahu a "great hero" and labels the trial a politically motivated "witch hunt" amid ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, urging immediate cancellation or pardon.
- On Thursday evening, President Donald Trump demanded termination of Netanyahu's trial on Truth Social, with the trial set to resume Monday in Jerusalem.
- Amid ongoing diplomatic talks, coalition officials said they aimed to frame Trump's intervention as an informal clemency request, reflecting shared peace strategy goals.
- The prosecution dates to 2020 with bribery and fraud charges involving luxury gifts, and Trump wrote that the case over cigars and a Bugs Bunny doll is unfair.
- Critics on both sides contended, with Agnes Callamard saying Trump's 'witch hunt' language aims to intimidate legal proceedings, while Marc Zell warned Israel is sovereign and must not be interfered with.
- Looking ahead, the trial remains in limbo with Monday's resumption pending, as Netanyahu denies all allegations as politically motivated.

Trump Rolls Over for a New War - The Ron Paul Institute for Peace & Prosperity
