US President Donald Trump has called Israel to “forgive” Benjamin Netanyahu, who is on testing for alleged corruption, or leaves the case completely.
He also claimed in a social media post that the US had rescued Israel – for his intervention in the Israeli war with Iran – and now “save” Netanyahu.
The Israeli Prime Minister denied allegations of bribery, fraud and violation of faith, for which he has been on testing since 2020.
Netanyahu wrote his post thanking Trump “
Israel’s main opposition leader Yare Lapid criticized Trump’s statement, saying that he should “not interfere in the legal process of an independent state”.
A few days after Trump’s post, he reprimanded Israel for attacking Iran, when he announced a ceasefire deal between the two after the 12-day missile exchange.
Netanyahu on Sunday repeatedly praised Trump’s decision to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities, calling it a “bold” step.
Posting on his true social platform, Trump described his long -time colleague a “great hero, who has done a lot for Israel, and described a” warrior “.
He said Netanyahu’s case “should be canceled immediately” or they should be forgiven, saying that he learned that Netanyahu was scheduled to appear in court on Monday. Netanyahu has appeared in court several times since the trial started.
Trump described the case against Netanyahu as a “witch hunting” – a word that he repeatedly described in his alleged wrongdoing in America, saying: “Justice cannot be allowed!”
Trump said that “there was no one I know who could work in better harmony”, Netanyahu said: “We will continue to work together to defeat our common enemies, free our hostages and expand the circle of peace.”
But Yire Lapid suggested that the effort intervene may be part of a calculated step by Trump.
“I hope and suppose this is a reward [Trump] Is giving [Netanyahu] Because he plans to pressurize him on Gaza and force, forcing him to a hostage deal, which will end the war, “Jare Lapid told the Israeli news website Yate.
Netanyahu is being tested against Israel’s background, Israel has been engaged in the deadly and unprecedented Hums attacks of Hamas’s attack, which delayed legal proceedings.
In particular, the length of war against Hamas in Gaza has led to the claims of some people that Netanyahu wants to prolong the fight for delays and conclusion of their tests.
