    Let Bibi go: Trump slams Israeli prosecutors over Netanyahu’s corruption trial

    US President Donald Trump once again lashed out at Israeli prosecutors over the ongoing corruption trial of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, warning that it could undermine sensitive negotiations with both Hamas and Iran.

    In a post on Truth Social, Trump strongly defended Netanyahu and criticised the legal proceedings as politically motivated and damaging to regional diplomacy:

    “It is terrible what they are doing in Israel to Bibi Netanyahu,” Trump wrote, describing the Israeli leader as “a War Hero, and a Prime Minister who did a fabulous job working with the United States to bring Great Success in getting rid of the dangerous Nuclear threat in Iran.”

    “Importantly, he is right now in the process of negotiating a Deal with Hamas, which will include getting the Hostages back,” Trump said.

    The US President also mocked the charges against Netanyahu, which include receiving gifts such as cigars and champagne, dismissing them as trivial.

    “How is it possible that the Prime Minister of Israel can be forced to sit in a Courtroom all day long, over NOTHING (Cigars, Bugs Bunny Doll, etc.). It is a POLITICAL WITCH HUNT, very similar to the Witch Hunt that I was forced to endure.”

    “This travesty of ‘Justice’ will interfere with both Iran and Hamas negotiations,” Trump claimed. “In other words, it is INSANITY doing what the out-of-control prosecutors are doing to Bibi Netanyahu.”

    “The United States of America spends Billions of Dollar a year, far more than on any other Nation, protecting and supporting Israel. We are not going to stand for this.”

    He concluded his message with a call to allow Netanyahu to focus on leadership rather than legal battles.

    “We just had a Great Victory with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu at the helm — And this greatly tarnishes our Victory. LET BIBI GO, HE’S GOT A BIG JOB TO DO!”

    This marks the second time in recent days that Trump has publicly criticised the trial. His comments align with Netanyahu’s supporters, who argue that the proceedings are politically driven and poorly timed, especially amid escalating regional tensions and ongoing negotiations involving Gaza and Iran.

    WHAT ARE THE CHARGES AGAINST NETANYAHU?

    Netanyahu faces accusations of accepting lavish gifts, including expensive cigars and champagne, from a billionaire Hollywood producer in exchange for advancing the producer’s business interests. He is also alleged to have promoted favourable regulatory changes for media moguls in return for positive coverage of himself and his family.

    However, he denies any wrongdoing. In the run-up to his court date, Netanyahu revived familiar pre-war rhetoric against law enforcement, describing the investigations as a witch hunt. He denies the charges and has pleaded not guilty.
