President Donald Trump has threatened to cut off billions of dollars in aid to Israel if corruption charges against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are not dropped. The president made these statements in a post on Truth Social over the weekend, marking the second time in recent days he has spoken out against Netanyahu’s ongoing trial.
Trump called the legal proceedings against Netanyahu a ‘political witch hunt’ and compared them to his own legal troubles. He described the charges as being about minor items like cigars and a Bugs Bunny doll, dismissing them as insignificant. The president argued that forcing Netanyahu to spend time in court would hurt negotiations with Iran and Hamas.
