U.S. President Donald Trump wrote on his Truth Social network that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trial is a "witch hunt" and should be canceled. According to Trump, the trial is being conducted "for political motives" and deals with "cigars, a Bugs Bunny doll, and several other unfair charges." The president claimed that the goal is to harm Netanyahu, "a man who has given so much." He suggested that Netanyahu, "this hero," should be granted amnesty as an alternative to canceling the trial. "He deserves much more than this, and so does the State of Israel," he added.
