US EditionIsraelis Love Trump. But some Are Unnerved by His Vow to ‘Save’ Netanyahu From His Corruption Trial
ISRAEL, JUN 26 – Netanyahu's legal team argues trial delays are necessary to address Israel's war with Iran and Gaza, with testimony postponed multiple times since 2020 amid ongoing conflict.
- U.S. President Donald Trump urged that the legal proceedings against Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu be stopped immediately and suggested granting him a pardon.
- Trump’s intervention followed Netanyahu’s trial delays linked to the ongoing war with Gaza, which began after Hamas’ October 7, 2023 attack, and a request to reduce hearing days to focus on war efforts.
- Netanyahu has been indicted on charges including accepting bribes, violating public trust, and committing fraud, following investigations over several years that allege he exchanged favors for political backing, making him the first Israeli prime minister to face indictment while in office.
- Trump described Netanyahu as a 'great wartime prime minister' and claimed the United States 'saved Israel and will save Bibi Netanyahu,' while Netanyahu expressed deep gratitude and vowed to continue their cooperation.
- The U.S. intervention in Netanyahu’s trial provoked division, with some Israeli officials welcoming the support, others warning against interfering in Israel’s judiciary, and experts calling for legal reforms and prosecutorial scrutiny.
