Trump calls for Israeli PM's trial to be canceled

ISRAEL, JUN 26 – Trump labels Netanyahu's trial a politically motivated witch hunt and demands immediate cancellation or pardon, citing Netanyahu's leadership in regional conflicts and ongoing hostage negotiations.

  • Former U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday demanded Israel cancel Netanyahu’s corruption trial, labeling it a 'witch hunt' and sparking regional and diplomatic tensions.
  • With Netanyahu denying wrongdoing, Trump’s call came amid regional tensions after Israeli airstrikes on Iran, claiming the charges are politically motivated.
  • Prosecutors allege in Tel Aviv that Netanyahu's 2020 trial involves gifts and favors, with hearings scheduled to last about a year, starting June 3.
  • Despite Herzog's refusal to consider a pardon, Trump's plea heightens volatility in U.S.-Israel relations.
  • Beyond immediate reactions, Trump's demand for Netanyahu's trial cancellation risks deepening polarization in U.S.-Israel relations, with Netanyahu set to visit the U.S. soon for critical negotiations on Iran and Hamas.
