President Donald Trump urged Israel on Wednesday to scrap Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial or grant a pardon “to a great hero," calling the proceedings a "witch hunt" on his Truth Social platform.
What Happened: Netanyahu, indicted in 2019 on bribery, fraud and breach-of-trust counts in three separate cases, began cross-examination in a Tel Aviv courtroom on June 3, according to Reuters. The court has scheduled the hearings to last about a year.
