In a Saturday Truth Social post, Trump continued to call for the corruption trial (WITCH HUNT) of Bibi Netanyahu to end, saying “we are not going to stand for this,” when billions of dollars in aid from the U.S. goes to support Israel.
Israel is the largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid, having received hundreds of billions of dollars in military and economic support over the last several decades, including during its war in Gaza and the recent attacks on Iran.
Only a few days ago, Trump criticized Bibi profusely and profanely.
Indicted in 2019, Netanyahu faces three criminal cases:
- In the first case, Netanyahu is charged with committing fraud and breach of trust over claims he and his wife Sara received expensive gifts illicitly from a Hollywood media mogul.
- In the second case, he is charged with fraud and breach of trust over allegedly trying to persuade a newspaper publisher to give him positive coverage in exchange for legislation weakening the newspaper’s key rival.
- In the third case, Netanyahu is alleged to have passed legislation that financially benefited a telecommunications giant shareholder in return for more favorable media coverage.
Netanyahu took the witness stand for the first time late last year, and his cross-examination began earlier this month.
His critics accuse him of prolonging the war in Gaza and of leaving dozens of hostages languishing in Hamas captivity to cling to power and more effectively battle the allegations. Massive weekly protests against Netanyahu have been held for years.
