Trump Supports Netanyahu, Criticizes Corruption Trial as Political Witch Hunt

US President Donald Trump has once again criticized the ongoing corruption trial of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, labeling it a 'witch hunt' with unfair charges. Trump expressed concern that the legal proceedings could hinder Netanyahu's ability to engage in diplomatic talks with Hamas and Iran.

Netanyahu faces charges of fraud, breach of trust, and accepting bribes in three separate cases. Trump denounced the charges as trivial and emphasized the importance of allowing Netanyahu to focus on his leadership role.

The trial, which began in 2020, involves allegations of receiving gifts in exchange for political favors. Netanyahu has denied all charges, attributing them to a biased legal system and hostile media.

Trump's defense of Netanyahu and call for the trial's cancellation underscored the close relationship between the US and Israel, with Trump highlighting the significant financial support provided by the US to Israel.
