In a post on Truth Social on Wednesday (local time), the US President expressed his shock over the continuation of the trial against Netanyahu, despite what he described as one of Israel's greatest moments in history, referring to the recent Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear and military infrastructure.

I was shocked to hear that the State of Israel is continuing its ridiculous Witch Hunt against their great wartime Prime Minister! Bibi and I just went through HELL together, fighting a very tough and brilliant longtime enemy of Israel, Iran, and Bibi could not have been better, sharper, or stronger in his LOVE for the incredible Holy Land," Trump wrote, hailing Netanyahu as a "warrior" for his leadership during the recent military campaign.

He also credited the Israeli PM's leadership for what he claimed was a "complete elimination" of Iran's near-term nuclear weapons capability.
