Donald Trump sent out a strong call for Israel to cancel its corruption case against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the president said they 'went through HELL together.'
It's a far cry from the day before, when Trump told the press 'I'm not happy with Israel' over the violations by both the Jewish State and Iran of the ceasefire he helped bring.
Netanyahu is the first Israeli prime minister will take the stand as a criminal defendant, over charges of accepting tens of thousands of dollars' worth of cigars and champagne from a billionaire Hollywood producer in exchange for assisting him with personal and business interests.
Trump wrote a lengthy post to Truth Social defending Netanyahu in the wake of one of Israel's 'greatest moments in history.'
'BREAKING NEWS…I was shocked to hear that the State of Israel, which has just had one of its Greatest Moments in History, and is strongly led by Bibi Netanyahu, is continuing its ridiculous Witch Hunt against their Great War Time Prime Minister!'
'Bibi and I just went through HELL together, fighting a very tough and brilliant longtime enemy of Israel, Iran, and Bibi could not have been better, sharper, or stronger in his LOVE for the incredible Holy Land.'
He then lengthily described how he and Netanyahu worked together over the Israel-Iran war in recent weeks.
'Despite all of this, I just learned that Bibi has been summoned to Court on Monday for the continuation of this long running, (He has been going through this 'Horror Show' since May of 2020 – Unheard of! This is the first time a sitting Israeli Prime Minister has ever been on trial.), politically motivated case, 'concerning cigars, a Bugs Bunny doll, and numerous other unfair charges' in order to do him great harm.'
Trump repeated a familiar refrain from his own experiences with the law, calling the Netanyahu case a witch hunt.
