US President Donald Trump stressed on Saturday that he would not “tolerate” the continuation of the corruption trial of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has already demanded that “immediately” be canceled. “The US is spending billions of dollars a year, much more than any other nation, to protect and support Israel,” the Republican president underlined via Truth Social. “We will not tolerate this,” he added, referring to the criminal proceedings in progress.

Benjamin Netanyahu “is negotiating an agreement with Hamas, which will include the release of hostages. How is it possible for the Israeli prime minister to crawl in a courtroom all day for nothing? “Donald Trump said. On Friday, an Israeli court rejected a request for Mr Netanyahu’s defense to postpone the hearing proceedings of his trial for corruption, fraud and confidence abuse for two weeks.

A lawyer for the Israeli prime minister called for a postponement of the process expected next week, citing “developments in the region and the world” after the war against Iran and in the midst of the continuation of the war in the Gaza Strip. He then filed a new postponement request to the Court on the annulment of the next two judgments.

Donald Trump has already demanded the cancellation of the trial on Wednesday, which described – as another – “witch hunt”. Something he repeated yesterday, describing it similar to what he “suffered” himself. He also suggested the awarding of grace “to the Great Hero”, the day after the ceasefire, which was implemented between Israel and Iran.

Mr Netanyahu denies the allegations in this trial, which has been postponed repeatedly since its launch in May 2020. In the first case, it is accused of, along with his wife, Sarah Netanyahu, received luxury gifts worth $ 260,000 and more dollars, pilgrims. In the other two cases, Mr Netanyahu is accused of negotiating to ensure more favorable coverage on the part of two Israeli media.

Netanyahu “must go home,” says Benett’s predecessor

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would have to “give up” from office, he was judged by his predecessor Nftali Benett, describing as “destruction” how he manages the country, during an interview that was broadcast on Saturday.

The current head of government “has been in power for 20 years”, this “is excessive, not healthy” and Mr Netanyahu “bears heavy responsibility for divisions in Israeli society”, so “he must go home,” Mr Benett told 12.

Nftali Bennett, then leader of the New Right Party, helped in 2021 to exclude Mr Netanyahu from power after 12 years he continued to prime minister. But his fragile alliance with Central Yair Lapid, today’s opposition leader, could last for a year.

Mr Bennett then did not apply to the early elections that followed, and resulted in Mr Netanyahu’s return to things, thanks to supporting far -right parties and loud Jews.

However, in recent months, Mr Bennett seems to be preparing his return to politics. Polls want him to be in the best position to win Benjamin Netanyahu in the next elections.

In an interview yesterday, the former prime minister referred extensively to the war against Iran, the “head of the octopus”, against him. The decision to launch an attack on the Islamic Republic “was very good” and “imposed”, but the operation would not be possible if he had not laid the foundations when he was head of the government – from June 2021 to June 2022 -, he argued.

For the war in Gaza, which was in the midst of an unprecedented raid on October 7, 2023 of the military arm of the Palestinian Islamist Movement in the southern part of the Israeli territory, Nftali Bennett ruled that the “performance” of the “performance” is “the performance” of the “performance”.

“In the face of the government’s inability to solve” the problem, “proposes to conclude now a comprehensive agreement” that will allow “the liberation of all hostages” left in the Palestinian enclave and “leave the task of eliminating Hamas in the future.” Avoiding a specific answer to repeated questions about his intentions in the event of elections, Mr Benett assured that he is “not making lists” of candidates at this time.

The term of Knecet, the Israeli Parliament, typically concludes in November 2026. However, there is always a chance that early elections will be announced earlier.
