‘We won’t stand for this’: Trump doubles down on attack against Israeli prosecutors in Netanyahu’s corruption trial

For the second time within days, US President Donald Trump lambasts the ongoing criminal trial against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, claiming that it harms efforts to strike deals in Gaza and with Iran.

While not directly threatening the prosecution, Trump highlights the billions of dollars in US aid to Israel before declaring, “We are not going to stand for this.”

“It is terrible what they are doing in Israel to Bibi Netanyahu,” Trump writes on Truth Social.

“He is a war hero, and a prime minister who did a fabulous job working with the United States to bring great success in getting rid of the dangerous nuclear threat in Iran,” Trump continues.

“Importantly, he is right now in the process of negotiating a deal with Hamas, which will include getting the hostages back.”

“How is it possible that the prime minister of Israel can be forced to sit in a courtroom all day long, over nothing,” he adds, downplaying the charges against Netanyahu while calling the corruption trial a “witch hunt.”

“This travesty of ‘justice’ will interfere with both Iran and Hamas negotiations,” Trump claims.

“In other words, it is insanity doing what the out-of-control prosecutors are doing to Bibi Netanyahu.”

“The United States of America spends billions of dollar(s) a year, far more than on any other nation, protecting and supporting Israel,” he adds

“We are not going to stand for this,” Trump says, adding that “this greatly tarnishes our victory.

“Let Bibi go. He’s got a big job to do,” Trump adds.
