Trump slams Israel’s prosecutors over Netanyahu corruption trial
- On Friday, June 27, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Israel's prosecutors for continuing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial during conflict talks.
- The trial began in 2020 following Netanyahu's 2019 indictment on bribery, fraud, and breach of trust charges and has involved three criminal cases.
- Netanyahu has denied all allegations and called the trial a 'witch hunt,' while Trump posted on Truth Social that the prosecution is an "INSANITY" and urged Israel to cancel it to avoid interfering with hostage negotiations.
- Trump stressed that the U.S. provides billions annually to Israel and warned, "We are not going to stand for this," linking the trial to risks in ongoing talks with Hamas and Iran, including a possible hostage deal.
- The situation suggests tensions between judicial proceedings and geopolitical negotiations, as a ceasefire with Iran remains fragile and Hamas refuses to disarm despite willingness to release hostages under a peace deal.
