Former U.S. President Donald Trump has urged Israel to immediately cancel or pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ongoing corruption trial, describing it as a politically motivated “witch hunt” . Speaking on Truth Social on June 25, 2025, Trump praised Netanyahu as a “great hero” and “wartime prime minister,” asserting that the United States would “save Bibi Netanyahu” as it did Israel . The trial, stemming from 2019 bribery, fraud, and breach-of-trust charges, began in 2020 and entered cross-examination on June 3, expected to last a year . Israeli President Herzog has stated that no pardon request has been made. (PC: X)
