Trump on Saturday night posted that “it is terrible” that Netanyahu is being prosecuted on breach of trust and bribery charges, downplaying the accusations and describing them as a witch hunt, and claiming that they were interfering with efforts to reach a deal in Gaza and diplomacy over Iran.
It came days after a similar Trump post drew widespread criticism, including from Netanyahu allies, as improper foreign meddling in internal Israeli affairs.
