Trump Urges Pardon for Netanyahu as Corruption Trial Continues

In a show of support, Donald Trump calls for an end to Benjamin Netanyahu's ongoing corruption trial, asking for a pardon or case dismissal.


Amid turmoil and conflict, Trump appeals for the cancellation of Netanyahu’s trial, citing a “witch hunt,” as the Israeli Prime Minister continues to face legal scrutiny.



Former U.S. President Donald Trump has taken to social media to advocate for a pardon of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is currently embroiled in a corruption trial. Trump urged that the case—alleging bribery, fraud, and breach of trust—should either be dropped entirely or that Netanyahu should be granted a pardon, calling the legal proceedings a "witch hunt."

In his post on Truth Social, Trump highlighted his steadfast alliance with Netanyahu, praising him as a "great hero" and "warrior" for Israel, while claiming that the United States has played a significant role in safeguarding the nation through its intervention in the ongoing war with Iran. Netanyahu expressed his gratitude towards Trump for the support through a heartfelt message acknowledging their shared interests and commitment to Israel's security.

This appeal from Trump comes amidst rising tensions due to Israel's military actions in response to a recent Hamas attack, which occurred on October 7, 2023. The legal proceedings against Netanyahu, initially set in motion in 2020, have faced delays, particularly with the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Critics, including Israel's opposition leader Yair Lapid, have condemned Trump's intervention, asserting that it infringes upon the independence of Israel’s legal system.

Lapid speculated that Trump's motives might be strategic, especially regarding upcoming decisions around a potential hostage deal, which many believe could influence the dynamics of the ongoing war. As Netanyahu prepares for another court appearance, he continues to maintain the innocence against the "absurd" corruption charges he faces.

With calls from Trump highlighting a notable international political entanglement, the outcome of both the conflicts in Gaza and Netanyahu's legal trials remains uncertain, as the complexities of both situations intertwine amidst a backdrop of military and diplomatic efforts.
